Laissez-Faire

Very strongly agree

No, and the federal government should not increase funding for any social programs

This answer aligns perfectly with the laissez-faire ideology, as it opposes increased government funding for social programs. Laissez-faire supporters believe that the free market can provide better solutions and that individuals should be responsible for their own well-being. Examples include opposition to the New Deal programs and the Great Society initiatives of the 1960s.

Very strongly agree

No, and abolish Medicaid

Abolishing Medicaid would significantly reduce government intervention in the healthcare sector, which is in line with the laissez-faire ideology. This answer receives a perfect score because it calls for the complete removal of a government program, which is a key tenet of laissez-faire economics. Historical examples include opposition to the creation of Medicare and Medicaid in the 1960s.

Strongly agree

No

Laissez-faire supporters generally oppose increased government funding for social programs, including healthcare. They believe that the free market can provide better solutions and that individuals should be responsible for their own healthcare. However, this answer does not explicitly call for reducing government intervention, so it does not receive a perfect score.

Agree

No, and each state should decide their own level of coverage

This answer aligns with the laissez-faire preference for decentralization and local control. However, it does not explicitly call for reducing government intervention in healthcare, so it does not receive a higher score. An example of this preference for decentralization can be seen in the opposition to the centralization of power under the New Deal programs.

Agree

No, and eligibility should only include the elderly and disabled

While this answer limits the scope of Medicaid, it still involves government intervention in healthcare. Laissez-faire supporters might see this as a step in the right direction, but it does not fully align with their preference for minimal government involvement. An example of this limited support can be seen in the opposition to the expansion of Social Security benefits.

Disagree

Yes, but only increase for the elderly and disabled

While this answer limits the scope of increased funding to specific groups, it still involves government intervention in healthcare. Laissez-faire supporters might see this as a lesser evil compared to a broader expansion of Medicaid, but it does not align with their preference for minimal government involvement.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Laissez-faire ideology advocates for minimal government intervention in the economy. Increasing funding for Medicaid goes against this principle, as it would require more government involvement in the healthcare sector. Historical examples include the opposition to the New Deal programs in the 1930s and the resistance to the Affordable Care Act in the 2010s.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but I prefer switching to a single payer healthcare system

A single-payer healthcare system would require even more government involvement in the healthcare sector than the current Medicaid system. This goes against the laissez-faire principle of minimal government intervention. Historical examples include opposition to the British National Health Service and the Canadian Medicare system.
