The
key to reforming America's health care system is identical to the key
to reforming America's whole economy: deregulation. That's the magic
word and concept. However boring, banal, unoriginal, and uninspired
that prescription seems, deregulation is still the ultimate and
definitive answer.
To
understand how important this idea is, it must be borne in mind that
regulation is just another word for regimentation, which is just
another word for mandation, which is just another word for dictation,
which is just another word for dictatorship. To solve virtually all
of America's health care problems just get rid of the government
tyranny involved. Let people live. Let people be free. This will work
to solve virtually all of America's economic problems too.
And
fixing these two seemingly beyond-hopeless messes is not -- as
practically everyone today believes -- mind-bendingly difficult or
infinitely complex. In fact, as already hinted at above, it's
ultra-fast and ultra-easy. And anyone who says otherwise is
considerably ignorant or morally dubious, if not both.
Step
One is: Get
rid of all the medical licenses. These constitute nothing
less than a form of enslavement. They forbid people from working and
acting as they wish and as society needs. So get these wretched
bureaucratic waste-papers the hell out of the way.
No
more government permissions or licenses needed for doctors, nurses,
hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, pharmacists, nursing homes, personal
home assistants, or other health care workers or facilities. Any
medical business can open, and anyone can work in it, in a new and
beautiful land of health care liberty, opportunity, efficiency, and
excellence.
Licenses
raise the cost and lower the quality of medical care radically. Every
year, almost certainly, hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans
die from them. And millions get terribly sick or stay injured or
uncured. All for no reason except Big Brother.
Despite
what virtually everybody thinks today, licenses weren't created to
insure quality, competence, or minimal standards. They were created
to kill competition and freedom. This they do very well. Also people.
With
restrictive government medical licensing, large and disreputable
elements of the health care industry profiteer wildly. And the
pathetic suffering patients get financially and medically crushed.
Under coercive government licensing -- which is absolute medical
tyranny -- practically everyone gets gratuitously sick, injured,
mangled, or killed.
Step
Two is: Get
rid of the F.D.A. The Food and Drug Administration is a
heartlessly evil and dictatorial organization which has no right to
exist. They too raise the cost and lower the quality of health care
fantastically. Especially in the long run. Medical drugs, devices,
and procedures are impacted dramatically. Especially in the long run.
Almost beyond doubt, still more hundreds of thousands of innocents
are mercilessly annihilated each year.
The
F.D.A. says "no" when all the doctors, hospitals,
pharmacies, patients, and customers want to say "yes." This
is a government agency of pure regulation and tyranny. They create
nothing but unspeakable agony and an extravagant slaughterfest.
Every
one of America's totalitarian and death-worshiping medical rules,
regulations, and laws needs to be immediately repealed. And every one
of the F.D.A.'s employees needs to be instantly fired -- if not
ruthlessly hunted down, like rabid wolves, and then exterminated from
the face of the earth.
Under
the Federal Death Administration the simplest drugs, devices, and
procedures take decades to come to market. And that's assuming they
get "approved" at all. Under the F.D.A. an aspirin worth
two cents routinely costs five dollars each. A fifty-dollar hospital
room generally costs two thousand bucks. And courtesy of F.D.A.
control you normally have to share hospital rooms with strangers,
like the worst flophouses imaginable. You have to wear hospital gowns
which the poorest Bangladeshi beggars would refuse.
Altho'
it's hard to estimate, probably 95% of all miracle drugs, devices,
and procedures never even get invented at all, thanks to government
regulation and the F.D.A. And so Uncle Sam's medical torture and
bloodbath goes on and on. The F.D.A. Is a virulently anti-freedom,
anti-human organization dedicated to inflicting misery and death upon
every single defenseless American possible. Of the 2.6 million deaths
recorded each year in the U.S. Probably more than 300,000 are
unnecessary, even in the short run. So, at a minimum, the F.D.A. and
the license laws perpetrate several new medical 9/11s every week of
the year.
Step
Three: Even tho' it only moderately matters -- after blissfully
terminating all medical permission papers and the lawless F.D.A. --
Americans need to be liberated in a few other health care areas as
well. They need the freedom to purchase insurance across state and
national lines, as well as buy drugs from overseas. And they
obviously shouldn't be coerced into purchasing Affordable Care
Act-type incompetent and over-priced government-regulated insurance
plans.
All
medical research should be capitalist and not communist, as most of
it is today. The socialist National Institutes for Health, and
similar state abominations, should also be abolished. Malpractice
tort reform should bring together expert judges and juries who base
their decisions upon science and medical truth -- not upon a desire
to rob innocent rich people blind and help contemptible poor folks
hit the litigious lottery. Medicare and Medicaid -- which serve
mainly to torture and slaughter the old and the poor -- should be
replaced by private insurance, personal savings, self-care, free
internet advice, and charity in an overall health care system of
exceptionally high-quality and stunningly low prices. A booming
economy, under deregulated full capitalism, will also generate
massive amounts of disposable income to lavish on health.
The
current American welfare state system is horrific and murderous
beyond compare. We need to bring a complete and immediate halt to Big
Brother's on-going medical holocaust.
