Other clips have cut the last 30 seconds where Dr. Paul states he indeed does take care of the poor by choice, because feels obligated by Oath of Hippocrate, not by force.
Dr. Paul makes the point that no one owns the labor of another person. A "right to healthcare" means doctors would be forced to provide care.
To force a doctor to take care of patients would be immoral.
I would like someone to answer the following questions please. If a doctor has a right to be paid for his service is it moral to demand that someone else help you pay or pay for you when you are unable to pay for yourself? If the answer is yes than how do you collect that demand? Is it moral to use violence or the threat of violence to collect that demand? I do not want name calling or saying that only a selfish fool would ask these questions, I just want answers.

@dab0331 I think I am beginning to see what you were talking about. I was an idiot. Just wanted to say you are right.

u don't have a "right" to healthcare just like u don't have the "right" to be protected by the military. of course u can pay someone to do work for u and the can volunteer their services but u can't say u have a right to it. to say such a thing is to imply the use of force.
if you're on a deserted island with fellow island dweller whos a doctor, u both have a natural born right to your life and liberty but to say u have a right to your neighbors health service is to say he's ur slave.

@lasku0007 "Yeah...supporting the idea of public health care system which benefits everyone is believing in violence, threats and intimidation, just because some idiots aren't smart to realize it."
yes it's force. take the military for example. once u sign that mother fucking contract you signed your life away and you're the government's slave.
it's slavery becuz you're forcing ppl who don't want to pay into a system of CORPORATE WELFARE and tax payer funded monopoly to do so.

idiots like The Young Turks say its not a form of slavery becuz they compare Rand's analogy to voluntary services like the police or lawyers. Maybe instead he should compare it to the military and then the dumbass might understand.
anyone who's been in the Marine Corp infantry or any other service knows that even though u volunteer once you sign that mother fucking contract you signed your life away and your the government's slave. you're just a number.

@lasku0007 OK, I got it. You can't accept, deny, or even recognize, reality. You should have said so in the first place. It would have saved both of us a lot of effort.
Have a nice life.

@lasku0007 I've made a statement - "I don't believe in violence, threats and intimidation. You do. "
It's clear. It's concise. It's time to either accept it or refute it.

@jeffiek contd.... The difference is that you oversimplify
things by saying "individual liberty above all" and weave arguments based on that alone. You don't take in to consideration the complexity of human nature
and the society.
Here is fundamental difference between you and people with sanity.....they realise how much of personal liberty is possible in a workable society and you
don't.
