    CL, isn't it amazing that most conservatives today would scoff at a piece of brilliance like this? It is not that I expect conservatives to become Misesian studies, but to at least think about that which is the core of the philosophy.

      Even weirder ... Mises used to write for the National Review! The movement has changed so much. It has learned to love the State.

    Great post CL. What people don't realize today is this talk of the government controlling healthcare is really an intrusion on property rights. From the theft of labor of a certain profession to placing conditions on the healthcare decisions each of us as property owners of our bodies can make. For me this is a total infringement of our property rights; rights that are not granted by government but are unalienable.

      Yes, this is why in the end ... everything comes down to economics.
