(13,218 posts)Sen Paul is trying to pass deep-shit off as deep-logic. Because he breaks ALL the rules of logic it's hard to have an honest discussion and shown him where he's wrong. He's wrong everywhere.

(15,328 posts)It's amazing what the republican machine can spawn as something supposed to be sentient.
How to argue with such a mess of tripe? I've heard that wrestling with a pig just gets you muddy; trying to counter randy's rhetoric is like arguing with a 6 month old (no offense, please.)
I do know a lot of reasonably well-to-do, supposedly well-educated, perhaps good-looking, white and privileged men that feel like they have a god-given right to spew nonsense. It's really too bad when this stuff is also shown as representing the US around the world.

Good that he provided opportunities for the providers to answer, but there is NO explicit or implicit promise or threat that providers will be forced, by officers of the law, immediately to provide service to those seeking medical assistance.

(4,280 posts)Rand Paul was intellectually challenged, or worse. He makes no sense!! Am eagerly awaiting Bernie Sanders buttons, bumper stickers and t shirts! Someone needs to be in charge of those whose heads are either in the clouds or up their butts, and Sanders is the guy to help them regain common sense! Good grief!!

(21,046 posts)Slavery is not a legal contract, first of all, as it is illegal. Secondly, physicians have contracts with hospitals and nobody is going to force a doctor to treat a patient except for the narrow exception of emergency care and maternity care in active labor in the emergency room.

(15,728 posts)He said it. For a person to have a right to something, they have to take it away from someone else. Sometimes by force. They do not have any empathy or a caring cell in their bodies.

(10,779 posts)... because the people of Texas have a right to representation in the Senate, and because we as a society believe that having a government is better than not having a government. By Paul's "logic," that must be slavery, too.

JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)No one would expect a doctor to work without pay.
The idea of single payer medicine is that the doctor always gets paid because all of hisp or her patients have insurance and therefore the ability to pay.
Rand Paul is completely mistaken as to how single payer insurance works. The doctors in systems with single payer insurance are guaranteed to be paid for the patients they care for. That is the opposite of our current system in which doctors and hospitals must often treat a patient who is poor and has no insurance.
Rand Paul does not know what he is talking about even when he is supposedly talking about his own profession.
The point in single payer is to make sure that doctors can be paid. Of course, even with single payer insurance, doctors do not have to care for patients who for example do not follow their advice. Most of them try anyway. But as a patient in a country with single payer insurance, I was once fired by a doctor who gave me medicine that caused me serious side effects. He wanted me to take it anyway. I went to a different doctor and things worked out.

(7,865 posts)My only problem is that the video gives too much time to Rand Paul's blatherings. But I guess you do have to give him enough rope to hang himself.
