    About this ebook

    Saving Freedom in Health Care is a powerful essay taken from The New York Times best-selling book, Saving Freedom by United States Senator Jim Demint, lauded by conservative leaders Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity, Oliver North, William Bennett, and Steve Forbes who declared the book "a blueprint for the effort that all concerned Americans must join to restore and protect the freedoms we depend on." If you believe every American should have a health insurance plan he can afford and keep from job to job; health insurance should not depend on employment, health status, or income level; no one should face bankruptcy because of catastrophic illness; people should not be denied health coverage because they are branded ?uninsurable,? then you need to read this essay.The United States—the world’s great bastion of freedom—is sliding toward socialism. Recent high-profile bailouts show the walls between government and the private sector are getting thinner each day. Federal control now extends in various ways to education, healthcare, financial markets, real estate, businesses, and religion. And as out-of-control government spending and debt increase accordingly, America is drained of the economic and political strength its people fought and worked so hard to achieve. But it isn’t too late to save the land of the free.

    Saving Freedom is Senator Jim DeMint’s firsthand account of the unsettling socialist shift—behind-the-scenes actions in Congress that are changing the character of our nation. He illuminates key principles of freedom and how they are being compromised by big government. More important, DeMint lays out a complete action plan to reclaim America’s freedom based on legislation that would reduce debt, fix Social Security, and provide a tax credit for every family to buy health insurance. The plan also emphasizes reversing America’s cultural decline by restoring a strong spirit of God and country.

    Endorsements:

    Saving Freedom is a new Declaration of Independence, a call for the American people to reclaim America. Jim DeMint's passion for the cause of individual liberty and person"Saving Freedom is a new Declaration of Independence, a call for the American people to reclaim America. Jim DeMint's passion for the cause of individual liberty and personal responsibility is evident in this manifesto. It needs to be read—and acted upon—by every citizen of this republic."

    — Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives

    "Jim DeMint has delivered a ‘how to’ plan for avoiding a future that we neither want nor deserve. For those of us who want to keep America the ‘land of the free and the home of the brave,’ Saving Freedom is a must read!"

    — Oliver North, USMC (Ret.), author of New York Times best seller American Heroes

    "Once again, as we did in 1776, Americans must choose between freedom and oppression. In Saving Freedom, Jim DeMint describes the clear and present danger posed by big government - and what we must do to preserve individual liberty and personal responsibility. Every American needs to read this book."

    — Sean Hannity, host of the Sean Hannity Radio Show and Hannity's America on FOX News Channel

    "It's comforting to know that someone like Jim DeMint is standing in the gap as we see so many of our nation's founding principles eroding. I view Saving Freedom as a blueprint for the effort that all concerned Americans must join to restore and protect the freedoms we depend on."

    — Steve Forbes, president and chief executive officer of Forbes and editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine

    Jim DeMint

    Jim DeMint was elected senator of South Carolina in 2004 and then chairman of the Senate Steering Committee in 2006. For standing up against wasteful spending in Congress and saving Americans about $17 billion, Wall Street Journal editor Steve Moore called DeMint the “taxpayers’ greatest ally.” DeMint was also recently ranked as the Senate’s most conservative member by National Journal and as the No. 1 senator voting for responsible tax and spending policies by the National Taxpayers Union. The senator and his wife, Debbie, have four grown children, are doting new grandparents, and live in Greenville, South Carolina.

      Saving Freedom In Health Care Essay - Jim DeMint

      SOCIALISM

      Freedom and Socialism

      Maintaining stability and strength in a diverse and dynamic nation like the United States requires leaders who can maintain a consensus among our citizens about faith, values, principles, and policies. There will always be tension because values conflict, even those values held by the same individual.

      Americans want to reduce wasteful spending and the size of government, but they also want to maintain costly social programs. They want to reduce costly farm subsidies but save the small farmer. They want to eliminate the welfare state but help the poor. They want to crack down on crime by throwing more criminals in jail, but they don’t want to build more prisons (especially in their own backyards). They want everyone to have health care but do not want to pay more taxes for government-run health care.

      You Can Have it All

      We have been told we can tax, regulate, and sue our businesses more than any other country in the world and still be competitive in a global economy. We have been told the government can set health-care prices and heavily regulate health-care services and still have an efficient, affordable private health-care system. We have been told we can spend every dime in the Social Security and Medicare trust funds on unrelated programs and still keep our promises to seniors.

      We have been told we can ban religion, prayer, and faith from schools, businesses, and public places and continue to be a strong and moral nation. We have been told we can educate our children in secular government schools and still have responsible, moral citizens. We have been told we can subsidize unwed births and teach safe sex to teenagers and still maintain strong families and a commitment to the institution of marriage. We have been told what cannot possibly be!

      Now, as we end the first decade of the twenty-first century, the wheels have
