and you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.

Yes, it would be cheaper to give myself an appendectomy, and to fix my own transmission, and replace my AC unit, but I don't think the result would be the same.

Anyway, I am not sure how the quote I highlighted is an accepted 'truth', and to be honest, I don't really see how it fits in the article. Yes, we should not be too reliant on the government, but being to reliant on doctors and service providers doesn't seem like socialism to me
