Dorman rightly defines true insurance as voluntary asset protection against catastrophe\u2014not the compulsory, taxpayer-funded scheme masquerading as &#8220;health insurance&#8221; today. Mandatory coverage, he argues, reduces patients to mere chattels, valued only until treatment becomes uneconomical, much like cattle on a farm.<\/p>\n<p>The incoming CMA president, Brian Day, claims to inject &#8220;market principles&#8221; into the public system while insisting full privatization is impossible. This contradiction exposes a deeper flaw: genuine markets thrive on voluntary exchange, not coerced taxation. Day&#8217;s approach merely rearranges the deck chairs on a sinking collectivist ship.<\/p>\n<p>Shifting to another form of taxpayer plunder, arts organizations lobby politicians for forced funding, equating their subsidies to health care entitlements. John Tory enthusiastically obliges, promising multi-year commitments and councils to &#8220;nourish&#8221; culture. Yet culture flourishes through voluntary support, not government coercion. The Freedom Party correctly condemns this as morally repugnant\u2014theft disguised as benevolence.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we examine Nazism&#8217;s collectivist roots. Adolf Hitler&#8217;s regime built a popular welfare state financed by plundering Jews and conquered nations. The National Socialist German Workers&#8217; Party delivered &#8220;benefits&#8221; through altruism and sacrifice for the collective\u2014principles echoing modern statism. Hitler&#8217;s vaunted Aryan superiority rested not on intellect or strength, but on willingness to self-sacrifice for the community.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing collectivism&#8217;s destructive patterns in health care, arts funding, and historical tyranny offers the perspective that is just right.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"custom-button\" href=\"https:\/\/justrightmedia.org\/blog\/020-Transcript\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Transcript<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/justrightmedia.org\/blog\/support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"custom-button\">Donate<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Continuing our critique of Canada&#8217;s socialized health care system, we feature compelling insights from Dr. Tom Dorman, a physician who fled both the British and Canadian systems.
