The idea that the government “provides” healthcare rests on a basic deception. Governments do not provide anything. They confiscate money from taxpayers, route it through layers of bureaucracy, restrict choice, and then purchase care on your behalf at a higher cost than you could

👇👇👇 Rights vs. alleged entitlements.
Healthcare is Not a Right by Leonard Peikoff: “Observe that all legitimate rights have one thing in common: they are rights to action, not to rewards from other people. The American rights impose no obligations on other people, merely the negative obligation to leave you alone.

Perfectly and succinctly put. 👇👇👇
We tell ourselves we’re safer, wiser, more evolved than the generations who sleepwalked into authoritarianism — but as @satmojoe warns, democracy is corrupted, free markets are an illusion, and the fiat system has given governments a red button they can press without consequence.
