RISKS:

The principal reason for the growth of government in the 20th century was to provide social insurance against risk.  The most important policy initiatives in the world today involve reforming those government institutions.  The risks that every American faces are:

  • Disability
  • Ill Health
  • Premature Death
  • Unemployment
  • Dependency in old age

  • Individuals and Families to pay their own way

KEY INGREDIENTS:

Successful public policy should include:

  • Personal responsibility
  • Private insurance
