HEALTH CARE: Let free enterprise rule

| March 17, 2010 6:55 AM

Let’s cut through the smokescreen surrounding healthcare and look at facts. I remember a time when you called the doctor and he came to you. He accepted a reasonable fee and that was that. Then government got involved with Medicare. Doctors and hospitals found that the Feds would pay outrageous fees and then steal the funding from everyone who was working. Corruption breeds corruption and here we are.

Now they want to take a quantum leap in the corruption. The A.M.A., F.D.A. and pharmaceutical industry have all proven they cannot be trusted. Insurors go along for the free ride. It’s time for getting back to basics. Get government out of healthcare. Free enterprise provides the best for less.
