Looking to join the growing movement of large health systems toward transparency, innovations in direct care and direct contracting, as well as major employer success stories? Join me at the FMMA Annual Conference on August 5-7 where I’ll be speaking about my new book, Universal Medical Care From Conception to End of Life: The Case for a Single-Payer System. The single payer is you–not the government.

“In all of politics, there is only one question and that is, “who decides”? Should the nexus of decision making be the coercive power of the state or individuals making decisions for themselves? Only individuals working with their doctors can hold all of the information about their unique situation. This decision-making should not be abdicated to a nameless faceless bureaucracy that cannot know what is best for everyone. I worked as doctor in Canada or many years and the people there have chosen the nameless faceless bureaucracy over individual autonomy. The result is a system rife with dysfunction and a paucity of quality care. When I was Medical Director for Diagnostic Imaging in Thunder Bay, Canada, our wait time for a CT scan was seven months and for an MRI scan, it was 13 months. Many in the US desire that we go down the path of more government control of health care. Dr. Sabrin proposes a better way. One based on individual decision making empowering the sacrosanct doctor-patient relationship for the best possible care and with rational pricing predicated on competition and choice. It is time that we heed Dr. Sabrin’s advice.”
Lee Kurisko MD, Author; Health Reform – The End of the American Revolution?
“Economics is our most beneficial science. Its practitioners seek to demonstrate how to increase well being for all participants in markets. They’ve delivered their promise in many of those markets, but the American medical care market is not one of them.
“Economist Murray Sabrin demonstrates why. Another term for freedom of choice in markets is personal responsibility. Throughout life, we accept and embrace individual accountability as we pursue betterment for ourselves and others. Except in medical care, where we have forfeited responsibility to an array of special interests who want us to be sick. Foremost among those are governments, for whom sickness means dependency, on which they thrive. Pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies embrace sickness-as-a-business. Big food, big alcohol, and big tobacco don’t help.
“Sabrin identifies two routes out of this dead end. First, personal responsibility for the pursuit of well being. Good personal practice based on readily available information about diet, nutrition, exercise and good habits could eliminate up to 80% of chronic ill-health conditions of the US population. Second, personal responsibility for payment and use of medical services, based on the individual as single-payer, health savings accounts, catastrophic insurance, plus the charitable and community services that emerge in healthy populations, would replace the convoluted unaffordable government-designed regulatory, payment and delivery bureaucracy.
“This book is deeply researched, incisively informative, logically sound, and highly persuasive about the right future for medical care in America. Since the current state is demonstrably unsustainable, Sabrin’s book is vital.”

Universal Medical Care from Conception to End of Life: The Case for a Single-Payer System, by Murray Sabrin, PhD. Reviewed by Robert W. McGee, JD, PhD, DSc, CPA (ret.), Fayetteville State University
“Dr. Sabrin’s book provides solid alternative solutions to the quagmire that has become the American medical system. The present system is too costly, too bureaucratic, and too authoritarian. Patients are often not able to choose their doctor, and are forced to pay for services they do not want and cannot use. Sabrin advocates returning power to the people who actually receive the medical services. Adoption of his suggestions would go a long way toward making the medical system more affordable and responsive to the needs of the people who use medical services, which is all of us.”
“Universal Medical Care from Conception to End of Life is the perfect prescription for you, if you want to understand why our medical insurance and provider industries are terminally sick. Dr. M. Sabrin (PhD.) beautifully writes on these pages the complete understanding of why it happened and where it is headed. But more importantly, he gives you the medicine to have hope, self-protect, save money and have better medical care.”

“Dr. Sabrin presents a clear, easily readable set of guidelines and techniques to help business people navigate through the perilous waters of a mixed market economy created by government mismanagement and intervention. A great read for entrepreneurs, middle and top management, and university students…and the politicians and bureaucrats who created this obstacle course.”

I sent the following email to Kessler about his column.
Your column today should be read by every American, especially the financial illiterates in DC and state capitals. It is one of the most important essays I have read in a newspaper in my lifetime. Which is now in the middle of my eighth decade. This is not an overstatement. The Journal has published insightful essays over the years, but your column totally demolishes the Keynesian paradigm once and for all and should have an impact on policymakers. However, I doubt it. They all worship at the altar of the real “trickle down economics”–spend, tax, print money and regulate. I will link your column on my blog.
Your point that “saving and investment must precede consumption” was articulated by Murray Rothbard on p. 22 of his 1962 essay, “The Case for a 100 Percent Gold Dollar,” “production – “purchase” of money – – “sale” of money.” I first read his essay in 1974 when I purchased his books and those of others of the Austrian school at the Foundation for Economic Education. (https://cdn.mises.org/Case%
20for%20a%20100%20Percent% 20Gold%20Dollar_2.pdf) I began each of my finance classes for 35 years (1985-2020) with this proposition that as a college professor I could consume goods and services because I provided a service–teaching finance. Production indeed precedes consumption. I point this out in my Fed book to highlight why printing money does not create wealth, and leads to numerous economic and financial distortions.
Keep it up. We will eventually have a free market economy. The great unknown is when will policymakers admit their mistakes.

“This is an amazing column on LRC today by conservative Pat Buchanan focusing upon “The Peace Speech” — JFK’s Commencement Address at American University, June 10, 1963. Buchanan demonstrates prudential insight and introspection in taking the core principled message of non-confrontational peaceful coexistence and mutual respect for diversity in Kennedy’s most important address of his presidency (hailed as one of the most important by any president) and applying it to the tense geopolitical conditions of today fraught with belligerence and mistrust. There are many observers who believe that it was this speech that directly led to JFK’s murder and the” … Continue reading →
