Free to Die?.......

Is There a 'Right to Healthcare'?
Of course not.  Ron Paul is correct again, says Walter Williams.


Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, in his New York Times column titled "Free to Die" (9/15/2011), pointed out that back in 1980, his late fellow Nobel laureate Milton Friedman lent his voice to the nation's shift to the political right in his famous 10-part TV series, Free To Choose. Nowadays, Krugman says, "'free to choose' has become 'free to die.'" He was referring to a GOP presidential debate in which Rep. Ron Paul was asked what should be done if a 30-year-old man who chose not to purchase health insurance found himself in need of six months of intensive care. Paul correctly, but politically incorrectly, replied, "That's what freedom is all about – taking your own risks." CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer pressed his question further, asking whether "society should just let him die." The crowd erupted with cheers and shouts of "Yeah!", which led Krugman to conclude that "American politics is fundamentally about different moral visions." Professor Krugman is absolutely right; our nation is faced with a conflict of moral visions. Let's look at it.

The trouble is, that about half of what Prof. Paul Krugman says is a bald faced lie. Hard to sort thru things he writes / says to find the truth. That POS is so far left he makes Obama look like a hard core conservative.
  I used to like a few things that Ron Paul said but after some of the personal stuff he has been throwing at his competition I have come to the conclusion that if he can't get the nomination then he damn sure doesn't want any other GOP nominee to have a chance to beat Obuma. He is starting to look like a pathetic, bitter, little grouch---------but I would still vote for him if it comes down to him or" that" CiC that lives in the White House---but I wouldn't like it any better than voting for McCain .

Sorry Jarhead that POS POTUS doesn't stay around the White House long enough to be considered living there.
