According to an article in the current Counterpunch by Russell Mokhiber, of singlepayeraction.org, Whole Foods founder John Mackey is behind an initiative to defeat Obama's health care plan. Mackey's invective is found in a recent Wall Street Journal article, in which he quotes former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher: "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money."
Mokhiber calls for a boycott of Whole Foods, and suggests your money is better spent at health food stores and farmers markets.
Rather than increase government spending and control, we need to address the root causes of poor health. This begins with the realization that every American adult is responsible for his or her own health.
Health-care reform is very important. Whatever reforms are enacted it is essential that they be financially responsible, and that we have the freedom to choose doctors and the health-care services that best suit our own unique set of lifestyle choices. We are all responsible for our own lives and our own health. We should take that responsibility very seriously and use our freedom to make wise lifestyle choices that will protect our health. Doing so will enrich our lives and will help create a vibrant and sustainable American society.
