Resolved Question: Did Ron Paul have by far the freshest and best idea for Health Care?
In these United States of America, one of the wealthiest countries on the planet, many people cannot afford even basic health insurance. They suffer severely under the present system and have to live under the constant fear of not knowing what they will do if they or their loved ones ever fall seriously ill.
But in many cases, insured individuals aren’t much better off either. In comparison to the exorbitant insurance premiums they pay, the medical care they receive is often very poor.
Additionally, due to the government-enforced monopolies of HMOs (Health Maintenance Organizations) and pharmaceutical companies, many patients will never even hear about some of the most effective and non-invasive treatment methods. These natural and inexpensive ways of regaining one’s health are being suppressed by the FDA and the medical establishment not because of safety concerns (they’ve been around for hundreds of years), but because they cannot be patented and would therefore cut into the pharmaceutical industry’s profits.
The current system is most definitely broken, and it must eventually be abolished if we want regain both our health and our freedom.
Forced nationalization is the worst possible answer. To get elected, many politicians promise “free” medical care for everyone. But health care nationalization in European countries resulted in longer waiting periods, severe lack of choice, deterioration of health care quality, prohibition of alternative health treatments, higher taxes, and sadly (for some) permanent illness or death because they could not get the care they needed.
Also, a nationalized system is not “free” at all because someone has to pay for it. And why should anyone be forced to pay for someone else’s medical care? Very few decent people would personally assault their neighbors at gunpoint and steal thousands of dollars to pay for their own medical needs. How could any freedom loving person agree to delegate such criminal acts to the government by supporting a nationalized health care system?
There is only one solution that will lead to true health and true freedom: making health care more affordable. Ron Paul believes that only true free market competition will put pressure on the providers and force them to lower their costs to remain in business. Additionally, Ron Paul wants to change the tax code to allow individual Americans to fully deduct all health care costs from their taxes.
Through these measures and the elimination of government-sponsored health care monopolies a much larger number of people will be able to finally access affordable health care, either by paying for medical insurance or by covering their medical expenses, which are now much lower, out of their own pocket.
As for the poor and the severely ill who can neither obtain insurance nor pay for the medical care they need, Ron Paul offers the following solution in his book “The Revolution: A Manifesto“:
” In the days before Medicare and Medicaid, the poor and elderly were admitted to hospitals at the same rate they are now, and received good care. Before those programs came into existence, every physician understood that he or she had a responsibility towards the less fortunate and free medical care was the norm. Hardly anyone is aware of this today, since it doesn’t fit into the typical, by the script story of government rescuing us from a predatory private sector.”
Illegal aliens already receive de-facto free health care. Why can’t poor Americans have the same… not as a right, but as a charitable benefit provided by doctors who feel a personal responsibility for their fellow citizens?
Unfortunately, the current medical monopoly corrupts many doctors by rewarding practices that are not in the patients’ best interest. Pharmaceutical companies have a vested interest in not curing people, but getting them permanently addicted to expensive drugs that have many side effects, thereby requiring additional drugs to suppress those side effects. Many doctors are afraid to speak up and question the system for fear of being ostracized by their peers or even losing their license.
Under a liberated health care system prices would come down and additional options would become available, thereby making health care much more affordable. Moral corruption would give way to true compassion, and many doctors would remember their implicit obligation to provide free medical care to those in need, just like they did in the past.
As a medical doctor, Ron Paul swore the Hippocratic Oath many decades ago. His entire person and career is a monument to the beauty and sanctity of human life. Ron Paul knows that life without health can be very difficult and is not what it was meant to be. He has personally cared for the poor for many years, without asking anything in return.
The government’s original role is to protect our freedoms and restrain itself from causing too much harm. Ron Paul is working to prevent greedy
bureaucrats, opportunist politicians and corrupt pharmaceutical companies from having any sort of unhealthy influence over our bodies and minds.

Resolved Question: I’m considering taking on an elderly cat. I live in a flat with a large balcony. Would it be fair?
I always stop to stroke a cat I meet when out I’m walking. On Saturday I stopped to say hello to a very friendly elderly looking cat. As I was doing so the person living in the house we were outside popped his head out of the door to say I could have him if I wanted. I was quite surprised and he explained that the cat’s owners had left him and his mother behind when they moved house 4 years ago (how could they?!) and that he had been living in their front yard ever since. Apparently he is very sensible and never goes near the busy road that runs outside the front of the house. This is largely due to the fact that his mother was run over a few years ago. The guy said that the cat has a shelter and that they feed him but that he is not allowed in their house because they have a cat who gets very upset by him. The house is part of a large terrace so other than the front yard there really isn’t much place he can go!
At first I totally discounted the thought of taking him on because in a few weeks I will be moving (with partner) to a flat 9 stories up but the more I think about it the more I think I could take him on. We will have a large balcony (6m wide by 1.5m deep) and as he doesn’t really move from the front yard he currently lives in I think he would probably be quite happy to bask in the sun on the balcony while having somewhere cosey to sleep during the cold weather. The guy I spoke to thinks he’s about 13 but it wouldn’t surprise me if he was a bit older.
Does anyone have any advice? I now walk past the house on a regular basis and he is always out in the garden. If he’s going to move with me to my new flat then I probably need to start to thinking about insurance. My main concern is how happy and safe he will be in a flat with up with a balcony? Incidentally it is only over the road from where he currently is so it won’t mean a big journey for him.
Any advice of things I need to consider would be greatly appreciated!
[Blog] Black Widow Grannies Turned a Classical Movie Into Real Life. Were They Mad or N…:
A duo from Los Angelos, originally natives of Hungary, has been dubbed as the ‘Black Widows.’ Helen Golay, 77 and Olga Rutterschmidt, 75, sat stony faced in court, as they heard the sentence of life imprisonment, with no possibility of parole. (Whatever that means to elderly women in their late seventies.)
The duo were found guilty, after befriending two homeless men, aged 73 and 50, at an Eastern European church. They found somewhere for the men to live and then proceeded to take out insurance policies on the men, (insurance-with-intent-to-murder). The women had found an insurance company which would pay out, heelless of illness, or accidental cause. ‘No Hassle, No investigation’, said the company slogan.
The two women used rubber stamps, onto which they had transferred the signatures of the men. They used these to sign the insurance forms. Next the women arranged for the two men to be killed in hi
