Universal Health Care Is a Universally Bad Idea by Mike Sharman
from Share HealthCare With Mike Sharman - Discussing Medical Freedom, Religious Freedom and Financial Freedom Through Health Care Sharing · host Mike Sharman
The Illusion of Universal Coverage: Freedom, Cost, and the Christian Alternative In this eye-opening interview, Doug Apple talks with Mike Sharman, General Counsel for Share HealthCare, about the growing push for universal healthcare in the United States. Using Vermont’s Bill H.433 as a case study, Sharman explains why even the most progressive states struggle to make government-run healthcare viable. The conversation dives deep into the pitfalls of "single-payer" systems — including staggering wait times and the erosion of personal responsibility — while offering a refreshing, faith-based solution for families looking to exit the traditional insurance morass. Main Discussion Points: -- The "Vermont Reality": Why the most progressive state in the union still hasn't passed universal healthcare after 14 years of debate. -- The Responsibility Gap: How "free" systems lead to over-utilization and a million-dollar price tag for irresponsible care. -- Global Warnings: Analyzing the 27-week median wait times in Canada and the surge of private-pay healthcare in the United Kingdom. -- Breaking the Monopoly: How healthcare systems bypass antitrust laws to eliminate competition and keep prices high. -- The Share HealthCare Solution: A breakdown of how a non-profit Christian ministry provides medical, financial, and religious freedom. -- Incremental Encroachment: What citizens should watch for to prevent the slow government takeover of private medical choices. +++++++ You can find out more information about Share HealthCare by calling 1-844-Share HC, or by visiting their website: https://sharehealthcare.com/
