Description
As political movements shift across the country, candidates offering massive federal promises are gaining traction. Host Doug Apple sits down with Mike Sharman, general counsel for Share HealthCare, to dissect the platform of Democratic Socialism, its radical economic and institutional goals, and how Christians can stand for freedom in an age of big-government expansion. Main points covered in this episode: -- Examining the explicit goals of the Democratic Socialists of America platform, including massive minimum wage hikes and universal government-controlled programs. -- The economic reality of "free" healthcare and how government intervention increases overall costs while eroding individual choice and healthcare quality. -- Radical institutional proposals, such as abolishing the U.S. Senate, eliminating the presidency in favor of a parliamentary system, and defunding law enforcement. -- How classic historical cycles show that social chaos and economic breakdown inevitably lead to centralized control and authoritarianism. -- Exercising your "freedom muscle" through practical, faith-based alternatives like Share HealthCare that operate without government involvement. +++++++ You can find out more information about Share HealthCare by calling 1-844-Share HC, or by visiting their website: https://sharehealthcare.com/
