Comments on: RON PAUL: INSURANCE “RIGHTS” OVER AIDS PATIENTS http://www.healthcarebs.com/2007/12/13/ron-paul-insurance-rights-over-aids-patients/ Cleaning the Augean Stables of the Health Care Debate Fri, 19 Mar 2010 04:30:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: john http://www.healthcarebs.com/2007/12/13/ron-paul-insurance-rights-over-aids-patients/#comment-12364 john Thu, 13 Dec 2007 16:59:38 +0000 http://www.healthcarebs.com/2007/12/13/ron-paul-insurance-rights-over-aids-patients/#comment-12364 I also forgot to mention that Ron's not singling out AIDS patients, nor insurance providers... you and the paper are. He would most likely have exactly the same stance for all instances where the government might want to forces companies to behave. Everything is not as black and white as you or the Houston Chronicle would like to think though, and issues like this one cannot be explained or resolved in a 30-second sound-bite answer or quote.

Ron said the government has no power to pass legislation to force companies to provide services. He is right. If you allow it in one instance, it will be abused for others. Why don't you donate to charities and research foundations (who are usually more fiscally responsible) instead of deciding what to do with everyone else's money?
