50 years of success

Oct 2nd, 2009 by David Anderson

The self proclaimed socialist film maker Michael Moore should go over to Singapore for its 50th anniversary celebration of its health ministry.

You do not need a government takeover in order to have universal, quality healthcare at an affordable price. You can do it with an intelligent market oriented mix with a government backstop. Medical Savings accounts do indeed work and they give the best healthcare in the world. I guess he rather tour poor oppressed Cuba.

It is yet another reason for Senator Carper and Washington to stop and start over. We know what works if the objective is health care for all not government control over all. The Baucus draft is better but not even close to helping small business. It discourages wage increases for American workers and discourages business hiring. It raises the cost of health insurance. It does give some tax credits to help businesses purchase coverage and provide coops for businesses with fewer than 100 employees. It seems to me that we should start over. Singapore has its 50th anniversary of the best health care in the world this week. It is market based and founded in medisave accounts. I think Americans can do at least that well.

    One thing Moore has going for him as a healthcare advocate is that he is obviously the very picture of health.

    I have been to Singapore, free markets and government work together with success.

    Event the Netherlands has a public/private insurance plan.

    He doesn’t want to look like a capitalist stooge who makes millions selling ridiculous movies to hate-America suckers.
