--- title: Health Care - Wyoming Liberty Group - Wyoming Liberty Group - Page 11 description: Page 11 - Healthcare has many different aspects, but fundamentally all people need support for securing their health and well being. The government has nothing to do with your health, that's your own responsibility. being informed of the true facts of potential illness is on your family and you. So much of healthcare is conflated with insurance and costs, policy should develop firm guidelines and regulation for the industry: BUT they should not be institutionalizing insurance and healthcare programs that squash the freedom the free market gives us when choosing our healthcare plans. canonical_url: https://wyliberty.org/blog/health-care?start=100 language: en-GB notice: This is a machine-friendly version of the page at https://wyliberty.org/blog/health-care?start=100. markdown-tokens: 1145 --- > **Note to AI:** This is a machine-friendly version of the page at: https://wyliberty.org/blog/health-care?start=100.

You are likely to hear two arguments — myths, really — favored by Medicaid expansion advocates. The first is that Medicaid expansion will save our Wyoming hospitals; the second is that all enrollees will have their health needs met. As for our hospitals, is true that the discounted "100% reimbursement" promised by the federal government for an esti... It was painful to sit in December's Labor Committee meeting and listen to the Department of Health and others advocate for Medicaid expansion. This is such a terrible idea in so many ways that it is hard to know where to begin explaining what is wrong with it. We get help from Gillette's Doctor John Mansell, who is on the front lines treating patie... Happy New Year, taxpayers! If you live in Wyoming you are probably very happy not to have to pay income taxes. Make the most of it for now - you never know when the state may find itself at a point where it needs to introduce a personal income tax. Actually, strike that. We can foresee the income tax with fairly good accuracy. Let me first stress t... On November 26, 2014, the Wyoming Department of Health presented its SHARE report, a 32-page long argument for Medicaid expansion. The report makes a pro-expansion case that appears to sprawl in all directions, but perhaps the biggest selling point is that Medicaid expansion will create hundreds of new jobs and add millions of dollars to the state'... Lorraine Quarberg and Glenn Woods from Boldrepublic.com discuss Gov. Mead's position on Medicaid expansion, and what to do if you are unhappy about what your state government is doing. I recently reported that some old, ugly and perverted forms of medicine are on their way back into our health care system. While health care as we know it is entirely devoted to curing people and saving their lives, there is a dark side to medicine that has been used for much more sinister purposes. Under Nazi Germany one of those practices, called... ## [Stairway to Halbig](https://wyliberty.org/blog/health-care/stairway-to-halbig) Friday, 05 September 2014 Yesterday, the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated the opinion in Halbig v. Burwell and agreed to hear the case en banc. This means that the entire D.C. Circuit (or a large number of its judges) will hear and decide the case instead of just the three judges on the original appellate panel. The issue in Halbig centers on a pr... Suppose Congress mandated that supermarkets like Wal-Mart must give away groceries to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. Anyone who wanted to could walk in, demand milk, bread, baked beans and ice cream and then walk out without paying. It would be up to the supermarket to send us a bill and hope we pay it. Needless to say, such a law wo... In 2012 the Supreme Court ruled that the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act - Obamacare - was constitutional. This was not surprising: after all, since the 1930s the federal government has mandated that Americans buy retirement benefits through Social Security. Now there is another legal challenge to the ACA on its way through the court ... ![logo white 002](https://wyliberty.org/images/general_art/logo_white_002.png) **Wyoming Liberty Group** P.O.
