Milton Friedman on ObamaCare


Milton Friedman (1912-2006), the Nobel Prize winning economist published an article in the Wall Street Journal, entitled "A Way Out of Soviet-Style Health Care," on April 17, 1996. That was the year Obama was first elected to the Illinois State Senate, and 13 years before anyone had heard the term ObamaCare. Dr. Friedman, the disciple of Frederick Hayek, and mentor of Thomas Sowell, was nothing if not prescient. Would that he were alive today to lend his learned voice to the chorus of other great economists (such as his protege, Dr. Sowell) who have been trying to explain the horrors of the soon-to-be-voted-on "health care reform" Bill.

The Journal reprinted the article in today's edition, and it could not be more timely. To read the article, click here.
