Government Replaces Religion


Healthcare & Education Costs

 

We have seen the costs of healthcare and education quadruple over the past few decades. I attribute this to the destruction of the free market, church-based healthcare and education we had in the 1960s.  I attribute this disaster to a combination of Vatican II and US federal government policies.

 

The Catholic Church held the second Vatican council in 1962 to “modernize” the Church. The very first Vatican Council was held in 325AD and was controlled by Emperor Constantine. It finalized the Catholic Bible and adopted Catholic articles of faith.

 

Vatican II had severe negative consequences including “liberation theology”, the abandonment of great Church music and the exodus of Priests and Nuns.  Losing the Nuns was devastating in the US.  Nuns used to run Catholic hospitals and parish schools across the US where costs were low and tuition was free.

 

Healthcare and Education costs have quadrupled due to excessive government subsidies at the State and federal level. These subsidies need to be shifted back to counties and providers to give them the incentive to lower their costs.
