Healthcare

The Covid response ruined everything the world identified with America: freedom, rights, decentralism, commerce, individual liberty, and bravery in the face of trial. Governments together with all the commanding heights betrayed all those values. We need to know why. We need to know how. We need to know who.

FDA Policies Keep People Sick and Create a False Sense of Security

There’s no Democratic or Republican way to promote quality. There is only what works, and that’s letting consumers reward quality by making their own health decisions.

The denialists are those who actively promoted and enforced lockdowns, and now implausibly deny that anything happened at all.

It is precisely because our health care is so important to each of us that we need to be especially careful to preserve and protect the rights of physicians and other health care providers.

Adopting socialized medicine – “universal health care” – would not remedy the well-documented gap in U.S. life expectancy.

Some doctors aren’t afraid to make the case for freedom, both in medical care and in all other aspects of our lives. One of them is Dr. Miguel Faria.

The lockdowns did not improve health outcomes. They did devastate economic outcomes.

If you express any misgivings about the covid policies, people are quick to retort: how do you propose we should have handled the pandemic instead? Three experts came up with an answer, which they put into writing and co-signed in the Massachusetts town of Great Barrington on October 4, 2020.

Fauci could have used his time in Congress to give a basic explanation. He did not. He chose to spread irrational fear instead. 

This isn’t market failure. It is the result of government regulation.

We cannot allow that to happen.

Virtually all discussion of health care policy today avoids explicit reference to underlying principles.

Thanks to government, insulin is hard to get.

The insulin pricing problem is a result of the government regulating business.

The health-care market has failed to produce high-quality, low-cost medicine for two reasons: consumers are insulated from the cost of medical care by third-party payers, and information on the performance of competing physicians is not available.

When bureaucrats speak of their stakeholders, they mean their employees and the industry they manage, not the citizens.

The CDC’s great lockdown, mandate, and unaccountable bureaucratic “follow the science” people control experiment was an enormous flop. Abolish the CDC.

Two years later the CDC has embraced the Great Barrington Declaration rather than doing a “quick and devastating takedown” as Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci called for the day after its release.

The bulk of Dr. Deborah Birx’s book is a brag fest about how she kept subverting the White House’s push to open up the economy – that is, allow people to exercise their rights and freedoms.

Among the best tennis players of all time, and also possibly the healthiest human being on the planet who is obsessive-compulsive about his fitness, Djokovic was unable to play in the Australian Open because he refused to take a Covid vaccine. Now he faces the repeat prospect of the Biden administration barring him from entering to compete in the US Open, even though unvaccinated Americans can compete.

In his zeal to protect the nonexistent entity known as “the public,” Fauci ignores the individuals who comprise the public. Individuals don’t matter to Fauci or any other would-be tyrant.

If lawmakers pass a law recognizing insurance licenses from U.S. territories, Florida consumers and employers could purchase individual or group plans from insurers in Puerto Rico or any other U.S. territory.
