Subject: Re: re. a question
I’d like to get a handle on the issue of health care, focusing on both our current system and a possible free-market replacement. Under this broad heading, I’d like to better understand our current (guild) medical system, our so-called insurance system, and the roles played by government. I’d be thankful for any reading suggestions you might have. B
Dear B: See below.
Dear Everyone Else:
If you have suggestions for additions to my list, please send them to me. I’d like to compile a more complete reading list on socialized medicine, and its very opposite, the free enterprise position.
