As noted in the first article of this series, health care reform is clearly needed in America. To look to big government to provide this reform is like asking the fox to guard the chicken house. As usual, government presents itself as the cultural balm to heal all wounds. In reality it has become the cultural bomb to wound all heels. The “heels” of course are all those who desire to employ the power of government to give them something for which they are too lazy to work.

As details of the health care reform bill are more widely disseminated, the more evident it becomes that it is a blatant attack on freedom of choice and genuine health care reform. As flawed as the U.S. Constitution is, it provides no authorization for the federal government to provide for the health of American citizens. Moreover, health care is not a service provided by civil government in the Bible.

The Crux of Socialized Medicine

Frederic Bastiat made this abundantly clear in his little classic, “The Law,” over 100 years ago. He first points out that the first and only purpose of the civil magistrate is to establish justice by applying the law to specific situations. Under the law no man is permitted to intrude upon the life, liberty or property of any other without incurring wrath and penalty.

But socialism turns the law on its head, abusing its power to confiscate the wealth and property of one for the benefit of another. Or as Barack Obama puts it, “Health care is a right, not a privilege.” By this means the law is perverted from a tool of justice to a tool of injustice.

“The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, in order to protect plunder…The law has been perverted by the influence of two entirely different causes: stupid greed and false philanthropy.” -Frederic Bastiat

Thus, the civil government has no business whatsoever meddling in the health care industry beyond a possible interest in preserving public health and safety. To go further than this is to usurp the role of God and his church, which is treason against the kingdom of God. God will not let this arrogance go unpunished.

The Cost of Socialized Medicine

Any flaws in the private health care system will be exploited by a government seeking to expand its power beyond the requirements of simple justice. The “cure” is always worse than the disease when government gets involved, as seen in the outcomes of ObamaCare below:

* Costs are projected to exceed a trillion dollars

* Doctors will flee the system, resulting in rationing of treatment

* “End of life” counseling will result in more assisted suicide

* When the dust settles abortions will be funded with taxpayers’ money

* It will give free health care to illegal aliens

* An already shaky medical system will be pushed to the brink of insolvency

Government poses as the great protector of human health, when in reality government regulation suppresses discoveries that would optimize it. Conventional medicine slogs along groping for “the cure” to diseases that have long since been conquered by other modalities overseas. But because of restrictions, these innovations have been suppressed within our own borders.

This amounts to government suppression of freedom of choice, a form of tyranny that penalizes physicians who only desire to do what’s best for their patients. Denial of the most effective treatment is often fatal. Nonetheless, if a procedure falls outside the realm of accepted practice it is shunned no matter how effective it may be.

Medicine is a subset of science where this kind of prejudice has been operative for centuries. Only by a great upheaval are ineffective modes of theory and practice discarded. We saw this for example, in the Copernican Revolution, the Newtonian Revolution, and in Einstein’s Quantum Revolution. The latter has opened up exciting new vistas on the role that underlying energy fields play in human health.
