True face of the Tea Party

Are Americans the only people too stupid to have efficient government.
I think maybe the anti-government party may be more at blame for making sure the government does not work
than the other.

National Health Care: The efficiency of the post office, the compassion of the IRS, all at pentagon prices......

Can anyone else see the writing on the wall?

Because of course that is how it works in the rest of the world.

No you see, the reason conservatives think universal healthcare will never work is this: All the bitter n****rs and brown folk will purposefully abuse the system in order to get back at the white man until the system goes bankrupt. Therefore universal healthcare can only work in those European and Scandinavian countries where everyone is white. And everyone knows all Canadians are white too because they play hockey, not basketball. I kid you not. This is how these turds think. They just don't admit it out loud.

"But Congressman, are you saying that society should just let him die?" asked Blitzer, to which several voices in the audience cried out, "Yes!"

"No. I practiced medicine before we had Medicaid, in the early 1960s, when I got out of medical school. I practiced at Santa Rosa Hospital in San Antonio, and the churches took care of them. We never turned anybody away from the hospitals," said Paul to additional applause. "And we've given up on this whole concept that we might take care of ourselves and assume responsibility for ourselves. Our neighbors, our friends, our churches would do it. This whole idea, that's the reason the cost is so high. The cost is so high because they dump it on the government, it becomes a bureaucracy," he added.

Today's news story made me sick. Huffington Post and DailyKos report that Ron Paul campaign manager Kent Snyder, recently passed away from pneumonia. Snyder spent two months in the hospital with no insurance, which means that his family must now cover the $400,000 in debt.

Despite his record as a doctor, despite the millions of dollars he raised, and despite his faith in the free market to settle health care matters, Paul was unable to provide for the most basic of care of one of his top staffers. Why didn't Snyder have insurance? Unfortunately, Snyder had a pre-existing condition, which would have made coverage prohibitively expensive. Readers on this site might remember the fact that he was the one man in all of congress to protest the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act, which would have allowed companies to diagnose pre-existing genetic conditions at the genetic level, for which his supporters were more than happy to cheer him on for, arguing that they shouldn't have to pay for someone else's misfortune (which, ironically, is sort of the entire point of insurance in the first place). Well, congratulations, guy. The bad news is, your campaign manager couldn't buy insurance to cover his pre-existing defect. The good news is, your campaign member couldn't buy insurance to cover his pre-existing defect. Further, there's the fact that Kent Snyder was openly gay, which means that he couldn't get coverage via marriage. Ron Paul opposes gay marriage, and believes that recognizing gay marriage should be done at the state level.

In New Hampshire, when Ron Paul was asked to provide his stance on making health care affordable, Ron Paul attempted to avoid the subject by going off into one of his general rants on inflation, which in this case, wasn't even an accurate use of the term. In Ron Paul's world, the problem isn't the cost of health care, but inflation. His supporters keep insisting that hyperinflation is inevitable and that the U.S. dollar will be worthless in the next few years. Perhaps they believe that by then, paying off the $400,000 debt will be easy, since it will cost people $400,000 just to pay for groceries? Of course, that's only assuming that their economic predictions will come true. For some reason, I doubt it.

Too bad there aren't people like that in the Tea Party.

...Because as you can see in your quote above, the tea party folk think society should let people who can't pay for healthcare die...

Follower of the Ron Paul Cult of Personality: ""Let them die is such an awful, awful word. I perfer 'let them visit or be visited by a charity hospital and give them the FREEDOM to crawl several miles to San Antino to a missionary hospital after being ran over by a car..... RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012!! ! He keeps his promises and never compromises principle - stuffing earmarks on a budget bill you vote down so your district is awash in pork barrellel spending IS A-OKAY, Though ... RON PAUL REVOLUTION, 2012!! !"
