PAUL: With regard to the idea of whether you have a right to health care, you have realize what that implies. It’s not an abstraction. I’m a physician. That means you have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery. It means that you’re going to enslave not only me, but the janitor at my hospital, the person who cleans my office, the assistants who work in my office, the nurses.

Freedom: Having health insurance and still going bankrupt?

You can't go the ER for cancer, so here's something to think about. If a person is unable to pay for cancer treatment under our current system, who has greater human rights and better access to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; the person suffering from the cancer or the tumors?
