1. Nobody has a right to healthcare?
Might as well say nobody has a right to food shelter and water.

What kind of a world do we want to live in?

3. Yet look at your typical Libertarian.
Hardly Wall Street money-broker stock.

The ideologues vote against their very interests based on ideology that never takes greed into account in their utopian formulas.

7. Show me a libertarian obeying traffic laws and I'll show you a hypocrite.
If they obey any of them, they're willingly trading their personal liberty for the common good.

13. That's why he does not practice.....
Right? Doctors dont have a right to doctor and patients have no right to health care.

Health care is only for the privilidged....what an asshole....just when I thought I might like him!!

20. Right vs. Privilege
And where does the "Right" to food, shelter and water come from? If you have a 'Right' to it, then it is free. You have a right to eat YOUR OWN food, but you do not have a right to eat MY food. Nor the Right to my Shelter. Rights are derived from property, if you don't own it then access to it is a 'privilege.' Please read the Constitution, it is the Law of our Land

21. Greetings "Chosen one".
No one wants to eat your food, so I wouldn't worry about it.

9. He claims to be a doctor?
By the way, he needs to work on verb agreement. We all make mistakes in that respect, especially when posting on DU, but Ron Paul was reading his speech. And he has aides and an office to assist him in preparing his speeches.

As to the substance: Ron Paul doesn't want the government interfering in the patient/doctor relationship but it's OK to have an insurance company interfere? That makes no sense. But then, what do Ron Paul and making sense have to do with each other? That's right. Nothing.

10. k & r -- rate the comments down too
A lot of the commenters are livin' the libertarian fantasy that unregulated businesses will magically compete to make prices lower. Funny how in the real world, it only leads to monopolies, collusion, and other competition-inhibiting behavior.

17. Ron Paul is a slimy republican-votes republicans, thinks republican, certainly he' no Bernie Sanders
Edited on Thu Sep-24-09 03:43 AM by GreenTea
who as an Independent fights for & believes in single payer health care, tolerance for all, strong workers unions, progressive & liberal ideology and the need to fight greedy corporatism that is strangling the American workers and it's people....Paul and Republican ideology fights for the elitism of the wealthy ruling class & corporatist...fascism is the republicans wet dream and they almost achieved it...fuck all republican liars, purveyors of hate and selfish greed!
