Freedom, choices and liberty. What kind of US president talks of such things? Oh yeah, good ones!
Bask in Reagan’s Reagany goodness.
I’m currently taking bets on how soon this video will show up on the Glenn Beck Show.
I’m like Ben Stein. Anyone? Anyone?
Libertarian TV!!!
Don’t forget to check out the John Stossel show which premieres tonight at 8 pm on the FOX Business Channel. You can always watch Bill O’Reilly at 11.
The show is called “Stossel” and the first show will feature Nick Gillespie of Reason.com discussing the relevance of Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged, global warming and how to fix health care – from a free market perspective, no doubt.
Don’t miss it!
Let the free market be free.
The vast majority of the people in the Obama Administration who are trying to fix it have never had a private sector job. If you needed surgery, would you want the operation to be done by someone who specializes in writing academic medical textbooks?
“A friend sends along the following chart from a J.P. Morgan research report. It examines the prior private sector experience of the cabinet officials since 1900 that one might expect a president to turn to in seeking advice about helping the economy. It includes secretaries of State, Commerce, Treasury, Agriculture, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Energy, and Housing & Urban Development, and excludes Postmaster General, Navy, War, Health, Education & Welfare, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security—432 cabinet members in all.”
Nick Gillespie of Reason.com points out that government has a deep interest in the war between UPS and Federal Express.
Federal Express is a private enterprise. UPS has heavy union support. Guess which team the Obama Administration is rooting for…
Fun fact: John Mackey voted for Libertarian Party candidate Bob Barr in 2008. Who knew?
Canada, the country most frequently used as an example by supporters of ObamaCare, has a healthcare nightmare on their hands and the Canadian Medical Association is now pushing for private health care to solve their problem.
SASKATOON — The incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association says this country’s health-care system is sick and doctors need to develop a plan to cure it.
“Dr. Anne Doig says patients are getting less than optimal care and she adds that physicians from across the country – who will gather in Saskatoon on Sunday for their annual meeting – recognize that changes must be made.”
“The pitch for change at the conference is to start with a presentation from Dr. Robert Ouellet, the current president of the CMA, who has said there’s a critical need to make Canada’s health-care system patient-centred. He will present details from his fact-finding trip to Europe in January, where he met with health groups in England, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands and France.”
“His thoughts on the issue are already clear. Ouellet has been saying since his return that “a health-care revolution has passed us by,” that it’s possible to make wait lists disappear while maintaining universal coverage and “that competition should be welcomed, not feared.”
“In other words, Ouellet believes there could be a role for private health-care delivery within the public system.”
PRIVATE Health care could have a role in Canada? Did you know that veterinary medicine in Canada is private? Libertarian journalist John Stossel of 20/20 recently found that private veterinary medicine in Canada is having very few problems.
“Stossel recounted the case of a Canadian town with so many people waiting in line to be assigned to a family doctor that each month a lottery chooses four lucky residents. And in England, the shortage of dentists leads some Britons to pull their own teeth or try to repair problems on their own.”
“The 20/20 co-anchor summed up the importance of a profit motive for the health care industry to function adequately as he recounted that in Canada, private veterinary clinics provide health care for animals much more rapidly than the government-run system provides similar services for human patients.”
Jesse Kelly is a Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq and he’s running for congress in Arizona. He is a fiscal conservative and supporter of free markets.
This is the kind of person America needs in Washington, DC!
The current representative for this part of Arizona, Gabrielle Giffords, cancelled a planned town hall meeting this week, disappointing her constituents.
Jesse Kelly, stepped in and gave all people (from both sides) a chance to be heard on the issues for TWO HOURS!
Watch this video, where Jesse Kelly demonstrates that he has a clear understanding of ObamaCare and then presents COMMON SENSE alternatives to ObamaCare which allow the free market to solve the problem. This man is JUST WHAT WE NEED!
