As recent revelations show, government has no business being involved in medicine. When government gets involved, monied interests predominate and outcomes become worse and worse over time.
Life becomes harder when monied interests control things. The term for control by monied interests, instead of having free market (unregulated) capitalism, is fascism. Facism makes life harder. It reduces the possibilities of life.
One early warning that your nation is suffering from control by monied interests (or “anti-capitalism”), is a reduction in the sale of big-ticket items such as cars. While some of the reduction in the rate of car sales is due to cars lasting longer, most is due to fascism reducing the ability to afford a former living standard:
Getting government completely out of the business of health care will be a good start, — the COVID debacle reveals that it would likely save millions of lives. But, as the graph shows, government must be removed from many other spheres of life in order for Americans to truly thrive like they did before.
There is no future in fascism (control by monied interests).
