This was the concluding talk from a presentation given at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. on September 19, 2009 by Yaron Brook during a public briefing on the "Joint Defense of Freedom in American Medicine" sponsored by Americans for Free Choice in Medicine. 

All ideas that involve government intervention in health care are based on the false morality of need.  Only private health care is consistent with the individualistic founding principles of America which include individual liberty, personal responsibility, and free market economics.

This lecture explains why an understanding of the issue at a political and economic level alone is not enough to combat the ever increasing slide toward socialism and collectivism. Only by understaning how our political decisions improperly place the false morality of need above the proper morality of individual rights will we be able to institute the proper political policies.
