Dr. Mavrakakis's commitment to the principles of liberty, limited government intervention, and individual responsibility in healthcare makes her an outstanding candidate for this position.
Dr. Irene Mavrakakis has established herself as a leader in the field of medicine with her focus on pain management and anesthesiology.

Libertarian Values in Healthcare:
- Individual Choice: Dr. Mavrakakis champions patient autonomy, advocating for a system where individuals have the freedom to choose their healthcare paths without undue government or bureaucratic interference. Her stance aligns perfectly with our libertarian principles.
- Free Market Solutions: She has expressed support for market-driven healthcare solutions that would reduce costs, increase innovation, and provide patients with more options, all while avoiding the pitfalls of centralized control which often lead to inefficiencies and lack of personalization in care.
- Critique of Centralized Planning: Dr. Mavrakakis has notably discussed the risks of central planning in healthcare, drawing insightful parallels with historical failures like the Soviet Union's approach to medicine. This critical perspective is invaluable for crafting policies that prioritize personal freedom over state control.
Policy Impact:

- Against Medical Tyranny: Dr. Mavrakakis has been a vocal critic of practices that she perceives as medical tyranny, including mandatory treatments or the overregulation of medical practices. Her position supports the NJLP's commitment to individual rights, particularly in the context of one's own health.
