Healthcare freedom ultimately means being able to purchase insurance tailored to one's specific health needs. We haven't had it since long before Obamacare -- and THAT is the problem. It is high time we are free in this country to contract for healthcare services and healthcare insurance without government mandates that drive up costs and restrict freedom. "Obamacare repeal" is just a (broken) campaign promise. What we need is healthcare freedom -- and that means getting rid of the regulations that are driving up costs. It means empowering healthcare sharing ministries and other avenues to providing more effective cost-sharing among communities. It means radically reforming Medicaid and devolving it to the states with no strings. It means no subsidies for insurance companies. And it means the right to get the healthcare of your choosing without interference from Washington.
