"1) Given that the health insurance companies in America make billions in profit every year, I'm confident the government can be more efficient than that."

Given this theory, explain Indian Health Service.

Point 1 is bad reasoning and demonstrated to be false. On point 2, rules are not inherently socialist (Capitalism actually requires a strong rule of law).




I have no idea what Indian Health Service is.

I know rules are not inherently socialist, what I was saying is you already live with a ton of them, and thinking that adding a few more will drastically decrease your "freedoms" is delusional at best.


Indian Health Service is the currently running, government health care for a small fraction of the population. If they cannot get that right, they cannot get it right for the rest.

Adding a few more rules is the dictionary definition of loosing freedom. Adding the wrong rules will.
