Thomas Szasz on Socialism in Health Care

[bsadewitz]

The cost has been steadily rising--it has nothing to do with it being a for-profit system.

[forty911]

Don't we all just want affordable good Healthcare? It looks like if we don't get out of this for profit system, the cost will double in 10 years with less care.

I'm sorry I believed the conventional wisdom (AKA pabulum) which reduced Dr Szasz's position to "all mental disease is socially constructed." This is false. The good doctor simply examines the philosophical underpinnings of the modern therapeutic culture and finds them cobbled and wanting. Good stuff.

It is always a great pleasure to hear or read Dr. Szasz, one of the great modern intellectuals.
