Title: COERCED CHARITY Part 2 of 2
Topic: Coerced Charity

Discussed by Dr. Ronald Trowbridge

The government is trying to justify Nationalized Healthcare because 50 million Americans are without health insurance. But, who are these 50 million Americans? Experts estimate that a minimum of 10 million are illegal immigrants; 17 million live in households with an income greater than $50,000 and don’t think they can afford to buy HI out-of-pocket; 18 million are 18-30 and don’t think they need HI because they are healthy; and millions are simply out of work, but will likely find a job with a health benefits. That leaves only 5 million without HI. Surely the US government can come up with a better solution for these 5 million people than National Healthcare for everyone.
