Michael Moore and John Stossel discussing healthcare? I am SO watching that. Thanks for the tip.
I have no idea what a mix of libertarian and socialist ideas on healthcare would look like. Under a libertarian system, people would only get the healthcare they could afford, but without insurance companies insulating the market between medicial providors and consumers, many medical services would be priced much lower so people could afford them, but people with major expensive healthcare needs, such as organ transplants, would be shit out of luck, or they'd have to cash out their retirement accounts.
Are you talking about a national catastrophic health care plan that kicks in after some high dedictable ($10,000 or so)?
You will agree though, that libertarian is NOT the same as conservative. We don't think of conservatives as wanting to legalize marijuana, prostitution and same-sex marriage.
