The Economic Fallacy of "Free" Healthcare
Here is the recording of our latest Open discussion. The conversation centered on the economic efficiency of healthcare systems, specifically debating the merits of private competition versus government control. Armin argued that government intervention should occur only on the demand side through vouchers, asserting that state-run supply stifles innovation and increases costs. Francisco countered by questioning the morality of profit incentives in medicine and the handling of rare diseases that offer low ROI. Joseph provided a Libertarian analysis, identifying the FDA and AMA as state-enforced monopolies that artificially inflate market prices. The group compared specific healthcare outcomes and waiting times in the US, Canada, Israel, and Iran. Additional topics included the definition of positive externalities in economics, the proper scope of government in defense and justice, and the ethical implications of taxation.
