Healthcare Letter
By Diana Hsieh @ 11:51 PM   
Hooray! The Colorado Springs Gazette printed the letter on healthcare I sent them last week. It's hardly a stunning bit of prose, but I'm happy to see it published:
TAKING CHARGE
People, not government, responsible for health
Marcy Morrison, the sole El Paso County representative on Colorado’s 2008
Commission for Health Care Reform, claims that her goal is to insure as many
people as possible (“Morrison works to insure more Coloradans,” Metro, June
25). That’s morally wrong. The government should not attempt to enforce
universal medical coverage, nor universal healthy diets, nor universal
fashionable haircuts. The only proper function of government is to protect
our rights.
In medicine, that means protecting the rights of health care providers,
insurers and patients to contract for the services they deem in their best
interest, free from government regulations, mandates and entitlements.
Only then can people act as responsible adults, rather than as wards of the
nanny state.
