In this video, I break down the recent failure of President Donald Trump's Obamacare repeal and replace effort (also known as Trumpcare) and why it happened.
While most Republicans are mad at Senator Rand Paul for standing on principle against government monopolization, there's more to the story. Rand Paul stood against it because it was basically Obamacare Light. Meanwhile, Trump calls Rand a "so-called Republican".
Well yes, exactly. He is being consistent in his beliefs rather than bend over and tow the line.
Government health care creates the illusion of "free" services. In reality, it monopolizes a few major corporations via state subsidization by the extorting hand of the government through taxation.
The more government funds healthcare, the more the medications and treatments cost, the more the government funds healthcare. It's the Hegelian Dialectic of problem, reaction, solution, repeat.
There's no incentive for competition in the markets so the monopolized corporations just raise prices and release medication that eases the symptoms instead of innovating and creating medications or treatments that SOLVE the problem.
This leads to smaller businesses trying to innovate to be forced out of the market. They cannot compete.
The truth is, the less government involvement, the less monopolization, the less price gouging, the more treatments, medications and marvels.
On the free market, businesses compete for the best product for the lowest price. They have incentive to innovate and they do.
On the free market, people have more money due to more production, more employment, higher wages, more competition and innovation, so therefor people are on average healthier and for those who physically cannot work, people can put money into a community pool for them and the medication or treatment would be far more affordable and have far greater quality.
This is all about the vote/demand of your dollar and that's what has historically worked. Not government monopolization under the guise of stopping big corporations and making care cheaper. People are being scammed by this narrative.
