The Bain Campaign advocates the creating of a government-run health care. This sounds good at first, but thorough examination shows that it is the least feasible option.
First, "Free" health care isn't really free; it would cost the nation $1.4 billion per year. This means higher taxes and more spending cuts in other areas such as defense, education, and so on.
Second, the health care industry is likely to become infused with the same kind of corruption, back-room dealing, and special-interest-dominated sleaziness that is already prevalent in other areas of government. Do we really want the government playing with people’s lives? The worst case scenario is the government rationing health care, equipment, and drugs; exactly what the State Party is proposing.
Instead, the Free Party advocates a reasonable middle ground: the creation of a public insurance option provided by the government.
This proposal is the solution for America’s current health care system. Profit motives, competition between the private and public options, and individual ingenuity have always effectively led to greater cost control, which is why a Public option is the best solution. It fixes the broken free market system, while maintaining its benefits. Currently, private health care providers are limited to their home state, so many states’ healthcare are run by monopolies. A federal public option would be open to everyone, thus providing at least one competitor for each current private company.
If you care about the future of the Health Care System, Vote for Calvert.
