Obamacare was signed on March 2010 with 59% of the people disapproving according to a CNN poll. The CBO scored Obamacare on six years of coverage for 10 years of taxes, which is how the CBO showed the bill to be deficit neutral . It’s unconstitutional mandating all citizens to purchase health care. Even Pelosi said, “We have to pass the bill, so you can find out what is in it.” watch?v=KoE1R-xH5To It’s also meant to take over industry watch?v=p-bY92mcOdk

If you would like to see Ron Paul’s Yes/No votes… Check out MAPLight.org.

@ArtistBet because it became waaaay overpriced and expensive because of pharma. corp. greed? The corruption that allowed corps. to sway influence on the inside in order to pass bills in their favour? There’s probably a dozen more reasons, all of which, i’m sure, Dr. Ron Paul knows all about. BTW… they spelled it wrong, they actually call him “Dr. Know”.

@kevinkards1 eliminate that article and maybe natural selection finally comes back, kicks ass and cleans up our gene pool a bit.Get rid of the bad genes.to strengthen the species.In ‘civilized’ society, the old, unfortunate, lame and any others that fit into the aid recipient category should/would be cared for by family, religion and/or local communities. If there were someone who noone cared about, he would probably die and we’d have less assholes. This is my opinion, not endorced by Ron Paul.

Do ANYONE know why Americans weren’t able to purchase health insurance forever?

Article 25.
(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

Ron Paul is a penis.

@2112fastjazz High health care costs are a result of government intervention. If anyone wishes to take the moral high ground and advocate for a single payer system, then by all means do so. Keep in mind that we can’t do it unless we gut the defense budget(which has lots of waste anyway!), stop starting trillion dollar military campaigns in the middle east, etc. This would permit the US to provide universal health care to all citizens. However this system will still drive costs up regardless.

@yyGODyy But he would have to devise a plan that would allow the phasing out of the Fed. A over night killing would be hard on people. Oh yeah forgot to mention… There would be a lot less money in circulation, look at what happened during the depression. All of these factors lead critics of RP to say publicly that he can never win. He needs to plan better or else he wont!

@BMANZZS Think about it. Businesses would be receiving less money for products because of the lower price for them. The mile high interest rate would mean there would be no borrowing. The rise in dollar value means DEFLATION. The GDP would shrink. Exports would fail. I mean no one would buy American. Imports would rise because of the valuable dollar. Foreign investment would skyrocket. Because of the high rate. Ummm, BTW, I think RP has some good things to say. TBC

@yyGODyy If the value of the dollar goes way up why would that result in loss of jobs? it would equal out to the fluctuation of prices…
March 10, 2011 at 6:30 pm
Basically, If he stops the fed….
The Value of the dollar goes up… way up…..
The consumer prices goes down….
The interest rate would be mile high. A lot of lost jobs.
This is what it would take to rest the economy of America. Would you take the chance of massive job loss?

@supergerbil Doctors in Canada & Europe make very good money. Financing of the education system is one of the problems. It should not cost so much to become a doctor. #2 A doctors main objective should be health, not profit. #3 The biggest problem with US health care is the Insurance Companies. With coverage like co-payments, deductibles, & uncovered services, we will have NO health care reform in this country until a single payer system is set up, and we GET RID of the insurance companies!

@2112fastjazz
Do you have any idea of how much of a person’s life, money, and work goes into becoming a doctor? It is one of the most arduous professions out there due to the schooling and the work that they have to do. If someone works harder then another person, they should also be compensated better. Peace
March 10, 2011 at 9:08 pm
All Ron Paul fans, Health Care should not be a product you buy. Insurance companies Primary objective is to make MONEY! We need a health care system that has incentive to heal & prevent, instead of manipulate & profit. How many people in Europe lost their house & everything they have last year because of medical bills? 0 How many people in the US lost everything because of medical bills last year? over 100,000. Become a doctor because u want to help people, not to become filthy rich. Peace

@dbill27 That’s right! I ąm against socialized medicine even though I’m from Europe. Taxes are incredibly high and are rising every year because of our welfare state. Here politicians decide how should I spend up to 80% of the money I get. Is that freedom? Unfortunately most of the people are unaware of this fact, they are convinced that healthcare and other services are totally free.
I love to listen to Ron Paul, because he is the kind of person we need. Such people are scarce in EU.
March 10, 2011 at 10:41 pm
@Ohgimmeabreakwillya if ALL europeans are truly happy with your health care than why can i find people from europe who arent? and if your from europe and its so great why are you watching american politician videos? By the way hows the euro working out for you? europes on the verge of collapse

In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to another. – Voltaire

Republican answer for health care crisis. DON’T GET SICK and if you do get sick HURRY UP AND DIE! UNIONS ARE BAD! UNIONS = Communism not working people trying to make a working wage via collective bargaining. NO your a red.
big corporate runs the gop always has got themselves a walking army called the tea party backed up by fox news funded by a Saudi who pays up to the Taliban.
healthcare for all Americans should never be a stump issue. Christ was a socialist ! take your money give to ?

When Obamacare fails, people will think it’s a reason for more government involvement and blame republicans
Private insurance would not be able to compete, demand would far exceed supply, consumers would demand more “free/cheap” health care (more so than medicare/medicaid) instead since there will be no financial disincentive to the consumer to not visit a doctor for trivial matters and the end will be rationing & higher taxes. UNIVERSAL HC IS NOT CHEAPER!
But hey, we can always blame Bush.
