Republican Rand Paul, 2011:

"With regard to the idea of whether you have a right to health care, you have to 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.

"Basically, once you imply a belief in a right to someone’s services, do you have a right to plumbing? Do you have a right to water? Do you have right to food? You’re basically saying you believe in slavery. You’re saying you believe in taking and extracting from another person. Our founding documents were very clear about this. You have a right to pursue happiness but there’s no guarantee of physical comfort. There’s no guarantee of concrete items. In order to give something concrete, you have to take it from someone. So there’s an implied threat of force.

"If I’m a physician in your community and you say you have a right to health care, do you have a right to beat down my door with the police, escort me away and force me to take care of you? That’s ultimately what the right to free health care would be. If you believe in a right to health care, you’re believing in basically the use of force to conscript someone to do your bidding."

What a lying, dishonest piece of shit Rand Paul is.

Saw a civilization where grabbing onto wealth, was the only gaurantee of freedom, peace and health.

Son, you can shirk your obligations...

I wonder how he feels about a right to a trial? Conscription of Judges?

Does that sort of thing happen in countries with socialized medicine?

No. There was a decent section of Bernie's Medicare for All townhall specifically about how health care works in other countries. The whole thing is worth the watch, but this link goes directly to that section.

Bernie Sanders guarantees every American a job.

In responce to this Paul guy, you do understand that physicians have government protection to avoid competition. Just like the pipe fitters medical doctors set the rules for becoming a medical doctor, control the schools that teach the craft, set the number of doctors available to practice by their control of the schools and the testing and such that enable people to become doctors, and unlike the pipe fitters, they are protected from immigrant doctors coming in to fill the (created) void.
