We believe in the original American system of reason, the moral-political principle of Individual Rights, and the political system of Capitalism, which is a system of private property with its consequences of free trade in a free market and the separation of the state from economics.
We believe, therefore, that one's right to produce and trade is a fundamental consequence of one's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and that the government has no proper role in paying for or regulating any goods or services except for those pertaining to the military, police, and courts, which are its proper functions. All other goods and services must be earned by those who desire those products and must be acquired by trade via private means agreeable to the traders.
By extension, we believe in the political freedom to pursue freely chosen trade in medical care, meaning one's right to contract with any physician by mutual agreement for mutual benefit, the government's only role being to enforce the agreed contract.
We believe that the government should be removed from providing money and regulation to the medical professions, and because of this, Medicare, Medicaid, the FDA, and all government intervention into the medical markets should be abolished.
The feedback I receive reveals a deep longing for a medical system defined by voluntary contract rather than bureaucratic oversight. I am currently organizing these personal accounts to demonstrate that the desire for individual autonomy in healthcare remains a significant and thoughtful concern.

Reaching this current level of support demonstrates that a growing number of people share a fundamental commitment to the principles of individual agency and a free market in medicine. This engagement confirms that the desire for a separation between the state and the medical profession is grounded in a deep philosophical conviction. We are building the necessary foundation to challenge the existing status quo.
