About DaveAR

I think of myself as a "common sense" conservative. I'm from NJ and am now living in Brooklyn.

Employers should offer health savings accounts.

Yes, it's a good idea to offer it as an optional benefit. Why not? It should not be required, though.

Acupuncture is effective at treating back pain.

I suppose the only people that can really answer that are people that suffered from back pain, got acupuncture and they felt better. If they say it effectively treats the pain, then clearly it does.

Medical providers should have the right to refuse medical care they find morally objectionable.

Doctors should not be forced to perform procedures they find morally wrong. What about their rights? Patients can go to a different doctor that is willing to provide the care they are looking for.

People do not have a right to affordable healthcare.

Health care is not a right, and the government should not be using tax dollars to offer this "right" to all Americans.

Adults should not be required by law to purchase health insurance.

Adults are free to purchase health insurance if they choose. The only type of insurance, for which I see the benefit of a legal requirement, is car insurance.

The government should not subsidize prescription drugs for people who cannot afford them.

...But it should offer incentives to drug manufacturers and private charities that offer assistance to individuals that cannot afford their necessary medications.

Health insurance policies should not be legally required to cover behavioral treatments for Autism.

There should not be legal mandates for what insurance companies must cover. Insurance companies can choose to offer better plans with that specific coverage, which people are free to buy.

Plan B should not be available over-the-counter to women under the age of 18.

It should require a doctor's prescription. It's a potent drug.

The government should not impose smoking bans.

Not the federal government, that's for sure.

The U.S. should not implement a single-payer health care system.

Socialized medicine is not the answer. We have seen its effect on the quality and availability of health care in other countries. Don't let the government have control and take away people's choices.

A person should have a basic right to death.

There's no point in asking if people should have a LEGAL right to die (commit suicide) because no law can ever stop anyone from doing that. Killing one's self is something people always can and will d...
