This clip is from the 15-part lecture series, “Milton Friedman Speaks” www.ideachannel.com Transcript available via FreedomChannel: freedomchannel.blogspot.com Summary: A student poses a series of question on based on Friedman’s notion that people should pursue their own self-interest. The student points out that he’d read that Friedman had previously come out against disaster aid for victims of a flood in Pennsylvania. Friedman corrected the questioner and noted that he did not come out against private aid for flood victims but instead was against the Federal Government providing discounted flood insurance in advance to home purchasers which motivated people to build houses in areas where they otherwise would not have been able to obtain insurance privately. If not for the discounted insurance, it’s likely many of the flooded houses would never have been built in the first place as it wouldn’t have been in peoples self-interest. The student went on to note that it was recently reported that an old man in Ohio died when the electric company turned off his power when he’d failed to pay his electric bill. Was it moral for the company to act in it’s own self-interest to do so? Friedman responded by asking what if the electric company never turned off the power for anyone? Who would pay the cost–the people who own or work at the electric company? It would be unjust to impose that responsibility on individuals who are running an honest business of providing electricity …

This is my favorite scene from the excellent movie of Moore: Sicko. Michael Moore interviews an Doctor in UK where they have NHS (National Health Service) unlike in US.
President Obama signs the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a historic piece of legislation that will expand health insurance coverage to millions of Americans and put an end to the worst insurance industry practices.
Over the past few decades, there has been an intense struggle in Washington between the lobbyists for the insurance industry and the interests of the American people over what has been called a Patients Bill of Rights a set of rules to protect Americans from some of the worst practices of the health insurance industry; rules to ensure that all Americans are getting the care they need from their doctors and the care they deserve from their insurance companies. The last time a Patients Bill of Rights was within reach was roughly a decade ago, and it was supported by Democrats and Republicans alike, from Ted Kennedy to John McCain. It included the right to an appeals process so you could challenge an unfair decision by an insurance company before a third party. It included the right to choose your own doctor. It included the right to access information about what your health insurance plan means for you. And it called for a new level of transparency so that patients would know if their doctors had a conflict of interest when providing services. Now, this Patients Bill of Rights never made it into law. It fell victim again and again to the same special interest lobbying that has blocked passage of health insurance reform for so many decades. But today, we are being given another chance to make it a reality, because each of these rights, and many more, are incorporated in the health insurance reform bill that recently passed the House of Representatives and in the bill that is …
www.pbs.org [...] MARCIA ANGELL, First Female Editor of the New England Journal of Medicine: I think we have to start all over on this. I really do. I think we have to go for a single payer system. You could institute that gradually. You could do it state by state. You could do it decade by decade. You could improve Medicare. That is, make it nonprofit. But extend it down to age 55 and age 45 and age 35. It would give the private insurance industry a chance to go into hurricanes, earthquakes or something. To get out of the health business. It could be done gradually. I think that has to be done. And it’s the only thing that can be done. [...] Ready to pay insurance companies for fire insurance at www.michaelmoore.com
