Your criticism of Paul Prentice’s use of the term “postive
rights” is certainly valid. However I thought paul used the trem as the left does they refer to the unalienable rights delineated in the Declaration & Constitution as negative rights and the rights they arbitrarily “grant” to the citizenry as positive. I wrote an article in the Constitutionalist Today last Feburary about this concept.
I must say that I perfer your term “artifial rigts” as being greatly more decriptive.

As a senior in highschool, it’s refreshing to hear rational thoughts on this subject, compared to the constant fallacies taught in schools and on the news. Thank you.

Great article and web-site. I ordered the book and am anxious to read it. We can only hope all of Congress will read and think about it.

I’m reading your book and just found your website – Fantastic. You’re right on target with market based health care. The consumer is certainly capable! Now to get the word out. Minutes ago I went to Amazon and sent a copy to my Congressman, Devin Nunes. I trust others following your blog and reading your book will do the same.

This says it all. The debate over health care is emotional, not rational. People believe there is a right to health care because it makes them feel good, because it makes them feel compassionate, because it just feels right. Argue otherwise, and you’re dismissed as being cold and uncaring.

We need to emphasize, as this article does, over and over again, that the best way *in practice* to help people get health care is for it to get better and cheaper every day. The only way to get that is through market-based reform. Well done, sir.

This particular column got me thinking about the inherent beauty of life with consequences and rewards. Seems we have gotten so far away from common sense thinking. Thanks for writing this on your day off!

You’ve got my attention, and now I’m full of questions. Looks like I’m going to have to read the book and get your unabridged perspective. Thanks for piquing my interest on a subject that typically evokes frustration!
