The second post on this blog is analyzing the history, the current situations and assumptions that people make, and the possibilities for the fututre.





First: How did we get where we are now? We got here in World War II, we were at war, and the gov't needed people to tighten belts.. so the gov't established rationson everything, and then inflation started to rise way too quickly, and the gov't put price and wage caps on everything. Employers then found that they could not get any new employees, so they had to offer them something other than money.. Health Insurance. 50% of the workforce was women, we all know that women are more concerned about healthcare than are men so it worked great..until the employees needed to retire. Then came medicare, and then came the ever expanding gov't since then.





Now Let's analyze today.


An assumtion that everyone makes is that everyone needs healthcare. Well what is a need? No answer.



The best that I can tell you is that a need in gov't terms is something that everyone must have.

The best real answer is that a need is a deficit. When you satisfy someone else's need, the time, effort, and money, the value that you use to satisfy that need is destroyed. It is wasted. When someone satisfies their own need, without violating anyone else's right to do the same, it is good. What about the woman who works three jobs to support her children you ask? Her working of those three jobs is evidence of her devotion to her children. Would you rather that she not be devoted to her children? Do you expect me to be devoted to her children?



But what makes you think that the gov't has the authority to take over an entire industry, because it has told us that some people "need" healthcare? What makes them think that they can turn your body into public property, and force healthcare providers into slaves of the state?
