Medicaid Covers 1 out of 5 Americans. How Did It Get So Big?

Nice example how government programs start small and then expand further and further smothering individual responsibility and accountability and the private sector.

Both Medicare and Medicaid were bad socialist ideas and should be abolished again. These programs stand for the rise of Big Government in the US! Did I forget to mention Social Security?

The UK NHS is a Regrettable Historic Mistake for 75 years!

Recommendable! I agree! This was a very regrettable and awful tryst with socialism by the UK! Dismantle it immediately!

What if doctors could prescribe housing? Really!

Really bad ideas coming out of the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health!

What if doctors could prescribe vacation on Martha's Vineyard? 😊

It is already bad enough that medical doctors have the exclusive right to prescribe medications etc.! One of many reasons why health care is so expensive!

"... Given housing’s immense impact on human health, a startling Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article asks that simple question. ...

CZECH REPUBLIC and CORONAVIRUS: A role model for EUROPE?

Very recommendable! So the Czech Republic got an early tip from Taiwan about the pending coronavirus pandemic before most other European countries.

I disagree with Whistler's favoring of what he termed the Bismarck health care system. It is still way too much socialized healthcare! Just look at Germany with all its regulations, price and wage controls, barriers of entry etc.!

The Truth About Canadian Healthcare

Very recommendable! Socialized healthcare means long waiting lines and scarcity! You may die before you receive care!
