Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation For Immediate Release New CF&P Video Warns Americans that European (Washington, D.C., Tuesday, November 3, 2009) In a video released today by the Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation (CF&P), Eline van den Broek of the European Independent Institute warns that European-style healthcare is the wrong approach and that problems in the U.S. healthcare system are the result of too much government intervention already. In the CF&P video entitled, "Don't Copy Europe's Mistakes: Less Government Is the Right Way to Fix Healthcare," Ms. van den Broek specifically notes that universal health coverage is not the same as universal healthcare, that insurance mandates mean more government control, and that price controls simply do not work.

"The video shows that government intervention is undermining America's healthcare system," added Dan Mitchell, Cato Institute Senior Fellow and Chairman of the Board at CF&P. "So it is rather ironic that some politicians think the answer is to further increase the burden of government," he added. Executive Summary In this CF&P Foundation video, Eline van den Broek explains that government interference is driving up healthcare costs in America and warns that European style health "reform" will make the situation even worse. Based on what has happened in Europe, she explains that universal health coverage is not the same as universal healthcare, that insurance mandates mean more government control, and that price controls simply do not work.
