Carl Higbie wasted no time on his FRONTLINE program calling out the dangerous myth that government can fix our broken healthcare system, and he’s right to refuse the comforting lie that Washington can legislate care into existence. Americans deserve honest talk about incentives and outcomes, not political theater disguised as compassion. Newsmax has given him a platform to press those truths to a broad audience.
Higbie noted that Obamacare conditioned millions to believe in a one-size-fits-all, government-guided cure, when in reality the law funneled more control to insurers and regulators rather than patients and doctors. That message cuts to the core of the problem: when government becomes middleman, costs rise and choice dies. Conservatives have been warning that top-down schemes create dependence, not better care.
He also hammered the administrative bloat that bloats bills and steals resources from patient care, pointing out real-world hospital staffing ratios that scream inefficiency and misplaced priorities. When a hospital has thousands of employees but only a fraction are clinicians, you don’t need a PhD in economics to know something is wrong. If America’s healthcare dollars are being siphoned into paperwork and managers, the cure is market discipline and accountability, not more Washington control.
The conservative solution is straightforward: restore choice, unleash competition, and cut the red tape that drives up prices and shuts out innovators. Policies that expand interstate insurance sales, enact tort reform, and promote price transparency empower consumers and rebuild the moral economy of care. Grassroots charity and private-sector ingenuity have always stood ready to help the truly needy when government steps back and citizens are allowed to act freely.
Higbie didn’t spare Democrats, correctly noting how political maneuvers around subsidies and mandates have left ordinary Americans on the hook while elites argue about optics in Washington. This isn’t just a policy disagreement; it’s a battle over whether Americans will remain free to make their own healthcare decisions. Voters should remember which party pushed the centralized model and who fought to preserve liberty and local solutions.
It’s fitting that Newsmax gave Higbie the primetime stage to press these arguments, moving his FRONTLINE hour to a heavier evening slot where more working Americans can hear straight talk about government overreach. Bold voices who call out the failures of liberal policy deserve airtime, and Higbie has proven he will use it to defend common-sense reform. Conservative media must keep amplifying these debates until gutsy, pro-liberty policies replace broken big-government nostrums.
Patriotic Americans tired of being lectured by bureaucrats should rally behind leaders who champion choice, fiscal responsibility, and a healthcare system that serves patients instead of padding administrative payrolls. Rejecting the false promise of a government solution is not heartless — it’s realism infused with hope that market-driven reform can deliver better care at lower cost. The fight for healthcare freedom is a fight for the future of America, and conservatives must lead it with conviction and clarity.
