Virtually all of the mainstream debate over “healthcare reform” amounts to one question: Should the state bureaucracy or corporate feudatories be the ones to run the healthcare system? It’s on the level of medieval peasants arguing about whether healthcare should be provided by the kings’ ministries or lords’ manors. Who cares? It’s pretty sad when anarchists have no idea on healthcare other than to push for expanding (war criminal) Lyndon Johnson’s welfare state (left-anarchists) or regurgitate the Republican line (an-caps). Below are links to some articles and commentaries about how anarchists might approach healthcare, from both left and right as well as both scholarly and popular perspectives.
