Let’s begin at the beginning. Medical care is not a free good found in nature. Of course, no one really thinks it is. But that doesn’t keep most people from wanting to pretend otherwise, and the current institutional setting makes that possible.

Where the Constitution needs to be changed, it should be amended through the process provided in the Constitution, not through a judicial edict.

“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” It works with the Tenth to reinforce limits on the federal government.

The purpose of law is to protect the rights of individuals against the excesses of the state. An oppressive judicial system punishes individuals by taking away their freedoms, starting with the right to vote.
