We Shouldn’t Copy Europe’s Mistakes on Healthcare
Submitted by CARPE DIEM
In this video released today by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation (CF&P), Eline van den Broek of the European Independent Institute warns that European-style healthcare is the wrong approach and that problems in the U.S. healthcare system are the result of too much government intervention already.
In “Don’t Copy Europe’s Mistakes: Less Government Is the Right Way to Fix Healthcare,” Ms. van den Broek specifically notes that universal health coverage is not the same as universal healthcare, that insurance mandates mean more government control, and that price controls simply do not work. Ms. van den Broek explains that the “right to healthcare” in Europe often really means the “right to get in a waiting line.”
