Way to take this out of context. First of all, Rand Paul hasn’t shown up on PolitiFact.com, so you’re lying too. Secondly he isn’t talking about current legislation so much as the direction that bureaucratic price imposition and controls are headed. If you want to twist words in a semantics battle, President Obama also says that no new taxes will be levied even though the proposed bill declares the no coverage penalty to be a tax collected by the IRS.

Either government will bankrupt itself paying for whatever care anyone asks for (devaluing the dollar and decreasing everyone’s standard of living, which the Fed is already doing), or it will need to ration health care.

Dr. Paul is simply promulgating the viewpoint that allowing free market forces to actually affect care will drive down the costs of care. Few serious economists can really argue with the moral hazards presented when insurers, care givers and patients raid the government for their share of the pork, because they don’t have to bear the true costs.

yellowdog: The ‘village’ is called Journalism school. You shouldn’t call the reporter an idiot though, just likely young and a victim of groupthink.

Canuk in KY: Being from Canada does not make you an expert on the Canadian healthcare system any more than I am an expert on my own insurance coverage. The objections about Canadian coverage has to do with extreme or state-of-the-art health care interventions that one may need, not with routine general practice. Yes it is nice to walk into a clinic for a flu shot and not worry about dollar one – but there is a tremendous cost at the back end for that illusion. I will share the results of my tremendous amount of research into the Canadian healthcare system using only Canadian government information sources upon request. Too much to publish here, but it is not hard for you to do your own research. Quite the eye-opener, the types of procedures subject to waiting lists was far greater than even I expected.

This is a misrepresentation of Rand Paul’s statement. He stated that that Obama is correct in that there will be no Death Panels ordering that plugs be pulled. What happens instead is far more subtle, it will be the same method that is currently used by my own government provided health care system in the U.S. military. The military system decides IN ADVANCE what life-prolonging treatments it considers not cost beneficial – and those treatments are NOT OFFERED IN THE FIRST PLACE. We need reporters, not gov’t PR hacks.
