I’ll start with the bad news: When we get through the economic time that we’re in right now, we’re going to be confronted with an even bigger problem.

The Market in Action Let me offer a few examples of how the free market is already working on the fringes of health care. Cosmetic surgery is a market that acts like a real market—by which I mean that it is not covered by insurance, consumers can compare prices and services, and doctors can act as entrepreneurs.

Cleaning Up the Mess

The only sensible alternative to relying on a welfare state to solve our health care needs is a renewed reliance on private sector institutions that utilize individual choice and free markets to insure against unforeseen contingencies.

"WOULD WE be far wrong," President Lincoln asked in a special message to Congress in 1861, "if we defined [sovereignty] as a political community without a political superior?" Maybe that’s not exhaustive, but it comes on good authority. And notice that for Lincoln, sovereignty is a political or legal concept. It’s not about power. Lincoln didn’t say that the sovereign is the one with the most troops. He was making a point about rightful authority.

This is what we're up against. On Sunday morning, amidst worshiping congregants and following unifying prayers that our President-elect be granted wisdom as he prepares to lead our nation through difficult global, social and economic challenges, the Michigan left declared open war on peaceful church goers.

"Call Mona," reads a giant yellow billboard in the streets of Dearborn, Michigan, along with a phone number. The rest of the sign is in smaller Arabic text. "In the land of different opportunities," it says in Arabic, "this is one you might not have heard before. Job opportunities with the U.S. army." When AlArabiya.net calls, Mona is not eager to talk.
