And Now, a Word from the Libertarian Party about Healthcare

We’ve tried the free market way and it failed. Free market turned into cut throat business and anything to make a profit. Doing anything to make a profit and letting that be the basis for our health system…the overlap is painful and people are suffering.

The government option is the closest thing to a community-run health system as we can get as a nation.

There needs to be a quick change to get us out of this horrific mess we’re in, and thinking we can quickly change the populations food choices and clean our water systems and switch everyone to eating organic is extremely radical. In fact, I can’t imagine a way to do it without putting a government-run strongarm on the every day choices of every American.

If you look at it this way, for those interested in bettering the life of Americans while giving them the most amount of choices and preserving the freedom we’re entitled to, while keeping the government’s mitts out of where they shouldn’t be, the government health option is integral.

From there we can educate people to make smart decisions about food and their health. Get them off the teet of agrobusiness and get them to the farmer’s markets where they can be eating local and organic and creating communities of educated, proud and healthy Americans. ...

No doubt that there is something horribly wrong with our healthcare system. As long as BIG PHARMA is permitted to rape the public with their outlandish pricing on their drugs, and the insurance companies keep putting out their hands to collect premiums but then turn around and slap your hand when you file a claim, we are doomed. But there is something else looming in the darkness….The overall health of this Nation.

We also have a population that is sick from poor food choices, GMO foods, and poisons/toxins…i.e. preservatives. We need to re-educate the public. We need to put stricter regulations on food manufacturers that garner huge profits by chemically altering their foods.

We need to look at the vectors of sickness and then attack the problem that way.

Government run health care is not the answer. This smacks of socialism and is not the route we need to go. Our forefathers would be sick if they saw how damaged our Republic is today.

And when you look at the inflation this is going to cause and the unemployment it is going to cause - it just makes this whole idea look wrong. ... See all content Hide content
