You Are Not Your Brother's Health Care Provider

By Dr. Yaron Brook

Despite overwhelming evidence that government intervention wrecks health care, government control over American medicine keeps growing. Why? Because, Dr. Brook argues, virtually everyone today believes that a person's need morally entitles him to have it fulfilled at others' expense. This morality of need is at the root of every government health care entitlement, from Medicaid to ObamaCare. In this provocative talk, Dr. Brook attacks the morality of need, and proposes a revolutionary alternative: the moral right of each individual to live for his own sake, taking responsibility for his own life and needs—including his health care needs—on a free market.
