    Ron Paul is a true statesman.

    He is one of the only members of congress who is truly working for Peace and not trying to jam so called American values down the world’s throat.

    How is it fair to steal a paid medical service from someone? And then disguise this as a right?

    If you live in a …
    If you live in a big city, you have no choice to how much needs to be spent for police and fire services. It’s set by the local government. Taxes are paid by all, aggregated and spent where needed. Some pay more and some pay less and the money is reallocated to where needed. Some consider this socialism and some do not. The point is… taxes are taken from all and reallocated as needed. No difference than public health care would be. Force all to pay the tax and spend it where needed

    “fire and police are socialized and not private”

    I would argue that fire and police are NOT socialized services—-they are paid for by local taxpayers who have the right to vote for the amount of taxes they want to pay for their services and it’s also is based on property taxes [millage].

    alright, the two giants debate healthcare

    and there both doctors

    My point is that fire and police are socialized and not private, regardless of the government branch.

    Fire and police are …
    Fire and police are not paid for by the federal government, that would be unconstitutional under the 10th amendment. The same with national healthcare.

  8. rpaulpen says:

    What is wrong with …
    What is wrong with you people. I guess your police and fire fighting force is socialism as well. Why don’t you privatize the police force? That way you only get protection if you pay for it. It’s crazy isn’t it? That’s the same as healthcare. Everyone pays into the kitty therefore guaranteeing healthcare for all. Call it taxes, fines whatever. Don’t believe the profit driving insurance companies. They are fighting for their survival, not yours.

    Ron Paul was the only 2008 Republican presidential candidate to have objected to and voted against the Iraq War Resolution, and continues to oppose U.S. presence in Iraq, charging the government with using the War on Terror to curtail civil liberties.

    I would rather have our incompetent government running health insurgence than some smucks in fancy suits flying around in private jets devising ways to deny claims.

    When will people understand that no good or service should ever be free. The only way to make health care truly free is to enslave doctors and make them work for free.

    All working people deserve to be paid for their work.

    If the government pays them that means we the people are still paying for our own health care plus the extra government waste.

Kinda how the american people wanted the brady bill. or was it how they wanted the patriot act. no wait maybe it was the bailouts we all wanted. wait wait it must have been the federal reserve act. yeah thats it. congress always does what we want.

    these stupid morons thinking they are getting something for free
    idiots , there are parts of bill on the internet

    you will not have any care if you sign the waiver as low income , no free care for you buddy
    Tax credits are only the same as cash if you pay more for taxes than you pay for insurance otherwise it is a burden

    the constitution is …
    the constitution is the law that controls the federal government from expanding beyond the control of people. the patriot act and the war in iraq, federal government in education, taking control of gm and some banks are perfect examples of the constitution being trampled on. What will stop congress from giving unlimited power to the president? What will be next? I am afraid to find out.

    haha. can you give me any fact based criticism? or are you an 11 year old posing as a 26 year old who knows nothing but talk?

    my point is that you are a moron. And yes, that is exactly what I am saying because the law of the land says so. Our constitution should run this country, not congress or the president. Please stop voting and talking until you actually learn something.

    There’s no such things as free healthcare. It costs money. When will people stop saying “free” healthcare?
