Yes. We all should have the freedom to be refused help! And others should have the freedom to be bastards!
Who's refused help?
If you don't like that this country is set up based on individual liberties and responsibilities and not totalitarian in dictating where a persons labor goes (slavery) you are free to get out.
No lack of compassion in my OP, just no fairy tales of milk & honey.
I would never go to a doctor who felt that way. If you're only in medicine for the money you lack compassion and should find another profession. He represents mainstream Republican thinking on this issue. It's okay to let people die just as long as they aren't fetuses.
boy am I glad you didn't live 30 or 40 years ago. We were raised you either get insurance or you pay for your treatments yourself. If you can't pay you depend on city or county gerneral clinics and hosptials. Of course you probably have no idea what I am talking about.
As most know, I am anything but a Paul supporter, but I do feel, if you have the opportunity for insurance and you refuse, then you are on your own..
At the fifth GOP debate this week, moderator Wolf Blitzer asked Ron Paul, a doctor, whether someone who opts to not buy health insurance and then gets sick should be allowed to die. The crowd responded with startling shouts of "Yeah!" followed by applause, leaving even Rick Perry "taken aback." Paul's answer, while more gentle, was more or less the same.

You researched Ron Paul much so why comment. "he represents mainstream Republican thinking" LMAO Become informed.
"As a medical doctor, Ron Paul routinely lowered fees or worked for free in order to refuse to accept Medicaid or Medicare payments. As a member of Congress, he continues to refuse to sign up for the government pension that he would be entitled to in order to avoid receiving government money, saying it would be "hypocriti*cal and immoral."
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose, and none of us will have anything to lose just as soon as the libertarians set us "free."
