Debunking Some Health Care Myths

An excellent article appeared recently in the American Spectator. Rather than directly targeting what we know — Obama’s plan will dramatically increase federal control over Americans’ health care — the author, Philip Klein targets an even more important topic, what we know but that isn’t so.

Among the myths that hinder opponents of government-run health care are the “fact” that we have a free market health care system (I have written about this in the past and the “fact” that 46 million Americans are without health care. Many good points made in the article and if conservatives and free market advocates can kill this federal takeover and then work to expand free market health care while educating Americans about the 46 million, we’ll be in a much better position to enact positive reforms in the future.
