I find it interesting that many who study F.A. Hayek, like to point out that he “favored universal healthcare.”

4. Hayek’s comments in “The Road to Serfdom” are distorted by BOTH sides (left and right).
The left use his comments to mean Hayek would give blanket approval to something like ObamaCare.

More insight is gleaned in Hayek’s book, “The Constitution of Liberty” where he reviews the “impossibility of centrally MANDATING requirements of health insurance coverage.”

A Hayekian Healthcare System would provide redistribution of $ to cover CATASTROPHIC medical issues... It would NOT be a comprehensive plan and would still utilize market forces.
Free market healthcare coupled with catastrophic insurance

Hayek was not an anarcho-capitalist.. He did feel that government had at least SOME role for healthcare... He would disagree both with American healthcare before ObamaCare, ObamaCare itself, and Medicare for All.
