"Health care amounts to l4% of our GNP--a lot of money. It is the size of the Italian economy. And the president turned it over to his wife."

Jack Kemp, U.S. Republican congressman from New York,
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. National Press Club
(November 21, 1994).
The current health care system in this country, as regulated and controlled by the government, is failing economically and is fast approaching total collapse. Medicaid and Medicare burden Americans with a system rife with fraud, incompetence, and skyrocketing costs. The "cure" for the American health care system isn't a socialized form of medicine as suggested by the Clintons, but free enterprise and deregulation. If doctors, hospitals, medical suppliers, insurance companies, and pharmaceautical companies are allowed to compete for customers, costs would go down and stay down, and medical care would become available to everyone. For the indigent, the resurgence of free clinics, open enrollment health care programs sponsored by private hospitals, and reduced health care programs provided by private physicians would assure they would receive the quality medical care they still lack.

Socialism isn't the answer. More beauracracy isn't the answer. Bigger health care budgets for government programs isn't the answer. The answer is the absolute privitization of health care, deregulation, and return to the people of the funds currently collected in the form of income taxes, taxes on medical supplies, and other associated tariffs and fees that drive up the cost of medical treatment. When people are free to shop for medical care and treatment, free to shop for health insurance, and free to spend their earned income in a fashion consistent with a democratic society, then they will have open access to high-quality medical care they can afford.
