Health Care Tyranny

"I don't trust discipline. I know, at that crucial moment, I'd cop out."
--Rachel Marron (The Bodyguard)

On cue from yesterday's missive, Dan Mitchell observes that issues with the health care mandate go far beyond violating beliefs of religious organizations. The administration's shifting of contraception costs from religious organizations to insurance companies is a diversion "that everyone with an IQ above room temperature realizes...is a meaningless cosmetic change."

Health care markets, he notes, have been distorted foryears by govt interventions. These interventions have served to price many consumers out of the market. Interventions have also quelled innovation and productivity improvement.

The path to cheaper health care for all is for government to leave the market so that the distortions can be ironed out by market forces.

Instead, we follow a different path. One that leads to loss of freedom, and tyranny over health care choice.
