Delegate Nick Freitas has an opponent

Yeah, I like “progressive libertarian” or “liberaltarian” instead of just ‘libertarian.’ “Civil libertarian” also works: the ACLU is a lot bigger and older than the LP, after all. But labels are pretty worthless on their own. Take a look at my webpage if you want more detail! Basically I think the only debate between our parties should be about the best way to maximize freedom for everybody.

My favorite kind of social program is closer to Milton Friedman’s minimum guaranteed income (very low regulatory footprint). I’d prefer health insurance that’s more free market, e.g. we could reimplement it as cash assistance and let the market sort out the rest. Then doctors could fire all their insurance experts and compete with each other for our cash, instead of being caught in the giant price-fixing that is our current health insurance industry. But Medicaid is what we have on the table. And we do need to be educated and healthy in order to freely participate in the economy.
