Wow, do you understand I'm trying to tell you that there are ways to make rising health care costs a non-issue?

Implement the National Health Care system and you'll find new symptoms to deal with in a few years: heavy taxation, shortage of doctors, no new drug development, etc.

I'm saying true free market in Health Care instead of the current fascism. Seems like you aren't interested in better health care, just socialism.

What Abortion? Forcing states rights on people causing a mass exodus of people moving no thanks. Hillary 2008 Screw Ron Paul and his fanbase.

"Right, the National Health Care plan is not the solution. It only addresses the symptoms."

Wow do you Ronnies ever listen to yourselves.

[flyinggeng]

Right, the National Health Care plan is not the solution. It only addresses the symptoms.

A few things to do:

Get more doctors licensed, get more nurses licensed. This is up to the states to stand up to the AMA.

Allow supplements and dietary regiments to compete against drugs especially if there are proven benefits.

There are so many government regulations that make health care much more expensive than it has to be.

I love this Hardball (or "Softball" to Democrats), is this bunch of "journalist" democrats telling us what to think about Democrat politicians...They should recuse themselves and all have to announce their political affiliation before pretending to be objective.

America has a way greater problem than health care. Go ahead and vote for that evil puppet biotch. You'll regret it. RON PAUL 2008 Hope For America!!!!

[S1Genocide]

You because Libertarians don't believe in a National Health Care Plan you want to gut all of our federal systems and that is what the waitress is talking about.

READ COMMENT BELOW FIRST I would normally vote for Kucinich but he has no chance.  America needs to come together and vote for a president not a party. Someone who really cares about your rights.

[drjonesone]

Who the f#*k are you calling a idiot you shmuck. If you had any clue who ron paul is you would know that he ran for pres in 87 as a Libertarian.  Ron Paul is a constitutionalist for liberty and freedom. None of this foreign policy bullshit when we have craziness going on at home. He has a wonderful but plan to change this country for the better and restore the constitution. He is not one of these corrupt politicians that is in it for the money.

Romney would say anything to get elected. Just look at how he panders to the right now that he is no longer in Massachusetts politics. I love to see people stick it to that weaselly excuse for a candidate.
