Agreed that increased self care is the answer. That of course implies decreased government intervention and decreased reliance on employer provided care.
I don't agree that Obamacare does that. Increased self-care does not "of course" imply decreased government intervention and decreased reliance on employer provided care." Most people cannot afford health care without insurance regulated by or provided by the state. Libertarian economics is wrong. Reaganomics is wrong. Neo-liberalism or whatever else you call it is wrong. Free enterprise alone does not work; never did and never will. Reverting to the situation before Obamacare will just be reverting to the crisis in which people and businesses alike were going bankrupt and going to the cemetery before their time.
It is the health insurance industry that profits from more people being sick. Real health care will decrease sickness and will bring down costs with preventive and holistic care and Western medicine when needed, made available to all with affordable insurance guided by or provided by the government. I hope someday it can be established.
