What do you tell a guy who is sick, goes into a coma and doesn't have health insurance? Who pays for his coverage? "Are you saying society should just let him die?" Wolf Blitzer asked.



"Yeah!" several members of the crowd yelled out.


Ron Paul interjected to offer an explanation for how this was, more-or-less, the root choice of a free society.



 
Texas Rep. Ron Paul, a doctor, was asked a hypothetical question by CNN host Wolf Blitzer about how society should respond if a healthy 30-year-old man who decided against buying health insurance suddenly goes into a coma and requires intensive care for six months. Paul--a fierce limited-government advocate-- said it shouldn't be the government's responsibility. "That's what freedom is all about, taking your own risks," Paul said and was drowned out by audience applause as he added, "this whole idea that you have to prepare to take care of everybody…"
"Are you saying that society should just let him die?" Blitzer pressed Paul. And that's when the audience got involved.
Several loud cheers of "yeah!" followed by laughter could be heard in the Expo Hall at the Florida State Fairgrounds in response to Blitzer's question.





:lol:


Freedom of choice, something libtards cannot wrap their mind around.
 
If you are going to be against the Health Care Package that was reciently passed, that is basically the position you have to take to be consistant. Otherwise you are a liar, I respect anyone who has the courage to admit this position. I disagree, but respect that courage.
 
I've said before that Webby has the guts to say what many of his like-minded brethren won't.
 
So the liberals say that it is a right to force everyone to purchase health insurance.

And if someone happens to be indigent we will tax everyone "again" and buy the insurance for them.

I do believe we allready pay taxes for Medicare, so this was a dumb question to of been asked. So the poor chap would've been covered anyways.

I would believe that everyone knows that the liberal media will have loaded questions like this so they can use it to slander anyone who opposes Obama and the Libs.

You do realize that medicare doesn't cover 30 year old men right?

I don't see where you have to tell him anything, he's in a coma! I mean, can he even hear you? Would he even care?

Here's an experiment for \\idiot// to try... come up from the basement and give mom a ball-peen hammer, and let her whack you in your silly noggin, and put YOU in a coma.... then we can observe what becomes of you! What better example than a deadbeat 30-year old liberal, living off the government in mom's basement? I'll be willing to bet $1000 that you wouldn't be left to die in the streets.
 
Cheering for the death of Americans...where have I seen this before?

They seek to silence other viewpoints (i.e. 'ban you from the internet')


They are conservative hardliners who want a theocracy.


They obsess over "morality" using a religious basis.


They advocate death for those who disagree and equate diversity with sin.


Thus, Tea-rorists.

Wonder if Paul was thinking of his former campaign manager when he delivered his crisp prescription on risk and freedom.

At CNN's Tea Party debate on Monday, Wolf Blitzer asked presidential hopeful Ron Paul what should happen to a 30-year-old uninsured man who needs expensive medical care. Should the state pay?

"That's what freedom is all about: taking your own risks. This whole idea that you have to take care of everybody—" Paul began, before he was drowned out by hoots of glee from the audience. Blitzer asked if we should just let the guy die, which drew cheers from the crowd. Paul allowed that maybe churches could step in and fill the void.

In light of that exchange, Truthout revisited the tragic story of the death of Paul's 2008 campaign manager, Kent Snyder. Synder died penniless and uninsured of viral pneumonia at the age of 49, two weeks after Paul ended his presidential campaign. His friends started a website to help his mother pay the $400,000 in medical bills he left behind.

After a few weeks of fundraising they'd raised $32,000. At the rate they were going, we can predict that someone else ended up not-so-freely absorbing some of the cost of Snyder's insurance-freedom--whether it was his mother, the state, or the hospital...

...Maybe it was ridiculously expensive for the Paul campaign to buy health insurance despite its $35 million war chest. Maybe Snyder had some preexisting condition that made him difficult to insure. I've heard this speculation offered to minimize or excuse the situation. But even if these conjectures were true, they'd be exactly the problems that make Snyder's sad end emblematic of the flaws in our health care system.

We don't know exactly why Snyder was uninsured. The bottom line is that it shouldn't be possible to be uninsured. Because we've already decided that we're not going to let people die because they can't pay for emergency treatment...

As much as Paul may fume about it, we've got the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1986 that prevents ERs from simply dumping those who can't pony up for an IV or an ambubag. We're not savages.

But since we know we're going to offer this care, we should have a more equitable way to pay for it, like, say, single-payer health insurance. At least Snyder and all the other young invincibles would have been paying into the system while they were healthy and working.

Ron Paul isn't just any boss who didn't provide health insurance for his employee. He's a politician who argues that the system is supposed to work this way. Forget what might happen in the totally free-market fantasy world that Paul is selling. In practice he wants employers to be free to not insure their employees and employees to be free not to be insured and private insurers to be free to charge whatever the market will bear and refuse to cover anyone they think might be a bad risk.

It's amazing to watch these born-again evangelical Christians act like Christ, isn't it?
 
Money and power have always been more important to the radical right than humans.

The rich can afford any insurance they need, in their eyes this wealth makes them blessed by God. Everybody else are just useless bags of flesh to be used to increase profits for right wing and then die. God doesn't care about the poor, sick and people struggling to maintain a roof over their childrens heads and food on the table. Just ask Paul.
