“government has a way of ruining things.
Medicine however, is completely 100% something which every American needs.
Everyone.”
I sounds like you are saying that it is OK for government to intervene (and therefor screw things up), if it is something that everyone needs.
Don’t fall for that socialist manipulation - it is an emotional, rhetorical argument, that does not hold up to logical analysis, and leads to disastrous results if implemented.
The opposite is true - the more essential something is, the more we should protect it from political interference.
Government control is LESS effective in meeting the common needs of individuals.
Food is something that everyone needs more than medicine, so is housing and clothing. If you fall for socialist calls for individual needs becoming the primary responsibility of government (rather than individuals themselves), then agriculture and real estate should be nationalized first (or be brought under fascist-style government control through regulation, which is what the American left is really doing).
I disagree.
Food, housing and clothing are all things which can be freely competed for by suppliers.
Medicine is (highly) regulated in America. Big time.
Government has a place here. If medicine were ever to be removed from government regulation I would completely agree with you, but that is so far from even a remote possibility that simply isn’t even pertinent to the discussion.
People need medical care. Everyone needs medical care.
Everyone.
Government is a complete role in this. They just do.
