Here in NJ, you pay property taxes that cover primary education. Homeschooling is no cheaper; you're going to pay for school whether you want to or not. I realize it's not like that in every state, but close enough that homeschooling in general is not a cost saver. You pay taxes that cover schooling no matter how those taxes come about. They don't ask you how many kids you have, then charge you for school use as far as I know.
If your theory about health costs held water, a face lift would be cheaper than it is. Fact of the matter is that medical costs rise not only to 'line pockets', but to pay for the exorbitant malparactice insurance, pay back the exorbitant college costs, etc. Today's word is 'inflationary'. True, insurance companies are reaping huge profits, but, being a 'capitalist', that should be acceptable.
If consumers were the drug controllers, we'd have hopped up grannies and kids whose parents fed them antibiotics for every sniffle, to the point where a dirty dollar would make them bedridden for days. Never underestimate the power of group stupidity.
Uncle Sam doesn't pay any of my medical bills...sure wish he would, they'll drive me to ruin between what we pay out for insurance and what insurance doesn't pay. Fact is, many working families can't or don't have medical insurance for a variety of reasons, so don't blame it all on 'personal responsibility'. And, as insurance is such big business, we won't see national socialized medicine. Congressional liberals, et al, can speak of it all they want, but it ain't gonna happen. It'd change the financial infrastructure too much. Insurance companies comprise a huge section of the stock market and banking community, have powerful lobbies and very influential CEO's.
I find it odd that you're so adamantly against the medical and pharmaceutical establishments as a whole. If there's a few bad truckers, do we stop shipping goods? Some incompetent teachers, so let's shut the schools?
How on earth would freebirth fit any bill other than personal choice? I usually applaud those that were able to have their kids smoothly and through their own choosing, but your posts so far resemble a sort of tantrum against 'the establishment'. If it weren't for that establishment you have such disdain for, one or both of my kids would not be here, literally from start to finish.
