Ron Paul on National Health Care Reform
August 26, 1988 http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FRon-Paul%2Fe%2FB001I9TTX6%3Fqid%3D1278222385%26sr%3D1-2-ent&tag=doc06-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=932 Watch the full interview: http://thefilmarchived.blogspot.com/2010/09/ron-paul-on-running-for-us-president.html
Ron Paul rejects universal health care, believing that the more government interferes in medicine, the higher prices rise and the less efficient care becomes.
He points to how many people today are upset with the HMO system, but few people realize that HMOs came about because of a federal mandate in 1973. He also points to the 1974 ERISA law that grants tax benefits to employers for providing insurance but not individuals; he prefers a system which grants tax credits to individuals. He supports the U.S. converting to a free market health care system, saying in an interview on New Hampshire NPR that the present system is akin to a “corporatist-fascist” system which keeps prices high. He says that in industries with freer markets prices go down due to technological innovation, but because of the corporatist system, this is prevented from happening in health care. He opposes socialized health care promoted by Democrats as being harmful because they lead to bigger and less efficient government.
Paul has said that although he prefers tax credits to socialized medicine, he would be willing to “prop up” the current systems of Medicare and Medicaid with money saved by bringing troops home from foreign bases in places such as those in South Korea.

Health Care Reform: The Hank Factor
In which John, who is kind of a fiscal conservative, uses the example of Hank to show how the current American health care system disincentivizes economic growth and entrepreneurship and argues that a public insurance option (even like the hodgepodge one in Montana) does not result in public bankruptcy but a more efficient and productive economy.

Natural Food Fight: Whole Foods and Health Care
In August, Whole Foods CEO John Mackey argued in the pages of the Wall Street Journal that the solution to America’s health care crisis was to be found in “less government control and more individual empowerment.”
His own company’s unique health care plan, Mackey wrote, covers 90 percent of employees, costs less than health insurance plans, aned provides a “very high degree of worker satisfaction.”
But for the sin of not supporting a government take over of health care, labor unions and left-wing activists called for a boycott of Whole Foods, claiming that Mackey’s solutions were unworkable and his employees were unhappy.
Reason.tv talked to protesters, Mackey, and employees about “the Whole Foods alternative to ObamaCare.”
Produced by Michael C. Moynihan and Dan Hayes. Edited by Dan Hayes. Approximately 5 minutes. (Full disclosure: Mackey has contributed to Reason Foundation, the nonprofit that publishes this website.)

Obama on Health to Congress: “Plan won’t require Americans to change existing coverage” part 4
The senior administration official noted that even luminaries in the Republican party are acknowledging that there is a “health care crisis,” citing former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.Palin gets tough on health care proposals
That same senior administration official said both Democratic and Republican lawmakers now believe “something has to get done” because doing nothing “would be a political failure.”
The speech, analysts said, will probably be one of the most important to date.
“Wednesday night’s health care speech may be one of the toughest he has faced,” CNN contributor David Gergen said.
Obama has issued broad reform ideas, but has left most of the specific legislative details to leaders in Congress, who have faced sometimes contentious negotiations
