Libertarians have it right on health care-not Barack, Hillary or Johnny.

But I'd really like to stop seeing all of these debates about how one ideology is better than another. I don't care if you're liberal, conservative, libertarian, or populist. Quit being so close-minded. Anyways, I still want to do this debate, so I'm going to look at your argument piece by piece. "Libertarians know that the only health care reforms that will make a real difference are those that draw on the strength of the free market. We propose to establish medical savings accounts to allow tax-free contributions in a medical savings program or 100% tax deductibility for all health care costs. " Unless I'm missing something that's still leaving out the poor. How can they put anything into an account? They don't have the money to. I'd love some elaboration. And please make it easy to understand. I don't want anything to get distorted in this debate. "We propose to deregulate the health care industry by repealing all government policies that increase health costs and decrease the availability of health services. " Examples of those regulations and policies? "We propose to remove the barriers to safe, affordable medications by replacing the harmful FDA with a more agile free-market alternative. This last measure alone could save hundreds of thousands of lives each year by providing medications without a 10-year testing delay imposed by the FDA. " So wait, it's bad that we have an organization that keeps harmful products out of our foods an drugs? It's bad that we have an organization that makes sure the medicine on the market won't kill anyone? It's bad that we have an organization that makes sure the food we buy is healthy? Have you ever read "The Jungle"? I'll admit that a 10-year testing period might seem bad, but even more lives would be lost if a harmful medicine were to make it's way onto the market. "In Sweden and Canda, people wait for years for surgeries that will save their lives and they die because they were in the waiting line. If you force or even encourage people to choose a limited number of health care plans, then those people will wait in line and potentialy die in that line like in Canada and Sweden. " First of all, we are not talking about any other health care plans but the Libertarian health care plan. Even if it was relevant, it works against you because the fact of the matter is that Sweden and Canada have higher life-expectancy rates than the US. Here's a map: . http://en.wikipedia.org... France also has universal health care, and you'll notice that they have a higher life-expectancy, as well. And I know that map was from Wikipedia. Here's the raw numbers straight from the CIA: . https://www.cia.gov... Here's the main thing: you propose to leave everything to the free market. But, this simply doesn't work. Historically, it doesn't work. Why? Because the needs and demands of workers/consumers have not proven to be sufficient in keeping corporations in check, which is why e need some regulation. Ultimately, the only type of economy that works is not a free market or socialism: it is a mixed economy. And, of course, please vote for the better debater, not for the side that you personally agree with.
