Why is that (almost) everyone thinks there must be a government-run healthcare program? Is it because (almost) no one understands how the free market works? Is it because (almost) no one believes in freedom anymore? Have the majority on Americans lost the concept of personal responsibility? Have we become dependent upon the government in child-like expectation?

Exactly - the premise that "healthcare is a right" and that "if it's not provided there's a problem" are false. Healthcare is a mix of goods and services, unlike free speech and so forth. It's not a right, it's something you either purchase or is given to you philanthropically. Putting it in government hands is the same as legislating morality like the Sodomy laws which we saw as unworkable. It's not the government's place to ensure outcomes.

Just about every Republican candidate for office in the country is an unabashed opponent of ObamaCare. But if they get rid of the Democrat's health reform law, what would they replace it with?

Some critics claim that the GOP only knows what it's against when it comes to health policy. They have no positive agenda for solving the problems of rising costs, inadequate quality and, for many, lack of access to care.

But the critics are wrong. There is a Republican health plan. And it's even more radical and more progressive than ObamaCare! What is it? It's the health reform...
