Promoting individual responsibility for health care      by Mary Lou Seymour        Whenever a group of freedom lovers and liberty advocates start discussing living in a free society and how to get there from here, the discussion invariably turns towards the problem of health care. And, in the world outside the enclaves of freedom advocates, we are bombarded with speeches from both branches of the BOYN party on whether more taxpayer money should be used to support health care, whether we should have a "single payer" system, how to "save" Medicare, how to make sure the elderly get prescription drugs and premature babies get life support.        (Click to Read More)
