Health, Charity, and Leviathan
Submitted by Diana M. Ernst, John R. Graham on 5.1.2007
Americans consider health-care costs to be a high priority for government action, but in this area the government is already the 800-pound gorilla. We have long promoted more individual choice and less government control in health care, but we don’t just advocate “dog-eat-dog” capitalism. Another helpful solution is philanthropy. Rooted in American principles of savings, growth, and volunteerism, philanthropy may play an increasingly important role with future generations as government programs become fiscally fragile. Indeed, if we had relied more on philanthropy over the last four decades, those programs would be in a lot better financial shape.
