Please see ‘Should society let uninsured die?’ Ron Paul.

He didn’t have the courage of his convictions’ either.

It also should be noted this was pre-COVID.
That is up to the society to decide voluntarily. You and your minions have no such authority to force the society to do what you want.

Remember people are not slaves.

Why do I need to accept or not accept the starving children? The children are the responsibility of their parents!

Thanks, I googled it and watched it.

He's missing a lot of the point.

While he had experience at Santa Rosa in San Antonio before Medicaid and "they never turned anyone away" because the churches stepped up and paid, Dr. Paul MUST know that there were many, many more patients who simply didn't seek medical care they desperately needed because they couldn't pay.

If ALL the people who needed medical care came forward, the churches, even at the much lower health care costs of the 1960's, would have been overwhelmed and unable to foot the bill.

Ah, Ron Paul.

Ah, Ron Paul.
Therefore we must force people at gunpoint to pay and if they refuse, shoot them.

That is what you are saying here.

I can tell you didn't watch the video, and have no idea what you're talking about.

(Word on the street is, you're actually a teenage boy bored with quarantine).

That’s what you are advocating! How else can you get the funding for welfare? Only two ways: voluntary and coercion.

Since you already rejected the voluntary way, it leaves coercion - threatening people with violence and kill them if they refuse.

Somehow, you have the audacity to think you are morally superior!

I am advocating that Medicaid pay, while Ron Paul was advocating that the government not cover those who are uninsured.

Because I watched the video, so I have an intelligent comment to make on the subject.

Is Medicaid funded voluntarily or at gunpoint?

Here's the video - it's really a compelling exchange.

Please explain to me why anybody should have sympathy for the poor




Talk to Donny about what his two Corinthian pals had to say in 9:6-7



Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver
