In the United States is waging a political battle-media for and against the proposal to reform the health-care system. President Obama as campaign promise is proposing changing the health-care system to extend to "all" the people to consider health care a "right" and the government is obliged to grant it, what altruistic politicians usually do not explain is Who will pay for that "right"? Speech probably well intentioned but always harmful.
On the other hand is the health insurance industry, which are a powerful lobbyist -mercantilist -political privileges, which do not allow more –maybe little- competition that threatens their interests, the practice keeps health insurance as the most expensive in the world. Besides are others lobbyist such as: the health insurance industry, pharmaceutical, medical licensing, FDA, etc.
In this battle, President Obama wants to change the current health-care system with the new socialized health law, whose effects will be exactly opposite to what he seeks, a disaster.
True capitalists are the only ones defending the existing rights to life, liberty, property, to the pursuit of happiness; the current U.S. healthcare system does not operate within the concept of the capitalist system. Capitalism is a political-economic system, without privileges some at the expense of others. A health system without privileges, the best quality at the lowest price is a commercial activity over free beings, where some offer and demand.
Free-market health care proponents propose the below as solutions to high medical costs and low quality:
- Abolish licensing requirements pharmaceuticals, medical insurance, and medical schools.
- Eliminate medical licenses, which causes high prices due to artificial scarcity
- Eliminate the Food and Drug Administration and legalize all prohibited drugs. Abolish tariffs on imported drugs.
- Abolish or reform patent laws, which increase the costs of drugs.
