What’s missing from the health care debate
There's something noticeably absent from the debate over health care reform. It's something you ought to hear, clearly and constantly, from those who are lining up to oppose President Obama's plan to hand our health care system over to the government.

Real solutions for health care reform
As the Obama Administration has highlighted in recent weeks, the American health care system is badly in need of reform. Unfortunately, the President's plan for health care would create more problems than it would resolve. Health care reform should take a different approach that emphasizes one of America's great traditional strengths — the power of market choice.
Health care for the newly unemployed
‘Free’ health care would come at the expense of your job
One component of the proposed health care reform bill is a requirement that all employers provide a minimum amount of health insurance benefits to their employees. For small businesses especially, this mandate would mean a hike in labor costs that would likely force employers to lay off workers.
Why does healthcare even exist?
For too long, we’ve been asking the wrong question
In the ongoing healthcare debate, people often ask: Why isn't healthcare affordable and accessible to all? This is the wrong question to ask. It assumes that a hidden supply of healthcare exists somewhere, and that if the government (or someone) could just find it or stop the wealthy from hoarding it, healthcare would be as free and accessible as sunshine. A better question is: Why does healthcare exist at all?
