But we can all agree that the color blue is a specific frequency of light.
Rand Paul Equates Universal Health Care & Slavery
in Objectivist Living Room
Posted
In a free society, I don't think health care would be much of an issue. There would be a huge market place for Insurance companies, because there is a lot of money in Insurance if unregulated. Sure there would still need to be litigation to settle contract disputes.
Because of the wealth in a free society, there would be plenty of money around to have free vaccination clinics. It would be in my best interest, if I was a wealthy citizen, to ensure that my society stays disease free.
Companies would also compete for employees by offering better health care. Employees may choose to take less health care and more salary, or vice versus, but that is their choice.
Doctors could charge whatever they want for their services, so you would have doctors that charge very little for minor services, such as eye doctors do today. There would be competition among doctors, which would benefit the consumers of health care. Medicine would get cheaper with better technology, rather then more expensive. New Medical treatments would be developed faster.
