The Patriot Post® · A Tale of Two Health Visions


Larry Elder: “Single-payer is universal healthcare system used in Canada. It remains popular. But in 2009, the incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association said: ‘(Canadian doctors) all agree that the system is imploding. We all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize.’ What did the outgoing CMA president propose? He said: ‘A health care revolution has passed us by’ and ‘competition should be welcomed, not feared.’ So while the Canadian Medical Association urges more competition and privatization, America moves toward even more government involvement in health care. … Economic freedom and prosperity go hand in hand. Yet this administration makes it clear it is more interested in wealth re-distribution and less interested in wealth creation. President Obama is quite adept at the former – clueless about how to achieve the latter.”
