Good God...
Is Carville not the most obvious fake plastic "aw shucks-y" yes-man you've ever seen? Stein doesn't impress me much either. Agree with the poster below, Jillette gets better all the time. I remember it wasn't too long ago that he was saying some things that made me cringe (about the war if I remember correctly).

Dr. Paul has repeatedly stated over the years that the best way to enact healthcare reform is to drastically cut overseas spending, eliminate the federal income tax and deregulate the health insurance industry to allow out-of-state purchasing of coverage.
Notes at intermission
I've got it on pause,. between the Penn Jillette segment and the Ron Paul segment.
Every time I hear or see Penn Jillette, I am more impressed. And I've heard and seen him a lot. Did you hear how he refused to take the bait and answer questions the way they were framed? I almost cheered when he said Obama does not have a mandate from 100% of the people, or when he said, the question was not whether society should take care of people, but whether the government should be involved in it. The guy is as sharp as Gillette!
Ron Paul rules..
I love how Ron Paul goes to the root of the problem instead of arguing how to manage a big pile of crap. The FED and Policing the world are the problem....Could you imagine the kind of health care we could provide if we didn't spend all that money over seas. Health care should be mostly paid out of pocket, like when you get your car fixed....and if something big hits you have a major medical plan. 15 dollar copays are a joke....How come cosmetic surgery gets cheaper every year....I guess there are no copays, lots of competition and they are getting better at it....inflation will be the end of us.

Bottom line
The govt has been taking your money for medicare and SS and God knows what else. Now there are $57 TRILLION + dollars in debts coming due to these same taxpayers and the govt has pissed away all that money. They need to get total control of healthcare or the game is up.
They're in bed with big pharma and the insurance companies they need for lots of people to die or get control of what they can't afford to rightfully pay for.....Can we all say time for a revolution....Way pasttime..The cards are face up on the table, the govt won all the money now we've found that they've been cheating throughout..Now with $57 TRILLION dollars in unfunded mandates your worth more to the govt dead than alive...Think for a minute why is this bullshit Soviet healthcare plan so important NOW................Get a damn rope.
Just one last kick in the nuts, then a final deathblow
Is Ron Pauls part on you-tube?
.
sure it is
I am going there to look.

Ron Paul on Larry King never with Larry King
Why does the show neglect to ever have Dr. Paul on with Larry King? Can the man ever give the Dr. a full hour on his show or a measly 30 minutes?
I like the idea of the 3 doctors from different viewpoints sharing time but this should really be played out much longer.

TORT REFORM?????
Did I just hear Ron Paul call for tort reform? You've got to be fucking kidding me.
Hopefully he meant that malpractice victims are underrepresented in tort cases and we need to level the playing field in the courtroom.
I don't think he meant that.
Besides, tort "reform" will solve nothing.
GD, I love RP, but sometimes things come out of his mouth that really piss me off.
I figured
Dr. Paul wasn't on with Larry King.
Dr. Paul did a really good job, kept talking and made his point. He was assertive.
Single-Payer?
Does that mean that everyone will get insurance based on their individual income? The amount of money earned determines the monthly premium?
Doesn't that put the IRS in charge of Healthcare?
Well that sounds like a great idea
sarcastically speaking
Peace
No...
Single-Payer just simply means that people don't need to be 65 years old, or older, to participate in Medicare.
You have the free choice of doctors, specialists, hospitals, all of which are part of a private (free market) delivery system, but you don't have Insurance Monopolies acting as a middle-man to deny benefits and/or refuse coverage, and trying to profiteer by cutting off coverage once you get sick and driving people into Bankruptcy.
I like Single-Payer, and the truth is that it is not "socialism". It is just the same free-market U.S. private health care delivery system, but without the access restrictions and artificial costs imposed by a middle-man multi-billion dollar profit scheme (Insurance Companies).
Nobody ever gets refused coverage with Medicare.
And Medicare would not go bankrupt if we:
1. Stopped spending and wasting Trillions of Dollars overseas on Warfare/Global Empire insanity.
2. Stopped spending and wasting Trillions of Dollars on welfare for private Banks and Foreign Banks.
Finally, all the debt would be erased by ending the Federal Reserve Monopoly's debt-generation system of money creation and the ponzi-scheme of "fractional reserve lending".
Sorry, but medicare as it is
Sorry, but medicare as it is is like 30 trillion in the hole. Even cutting out the military waste wouldnt help that big a problem.

Everyone gets sick & old eventually...
So how do you get your Health Care then with no reform?
1. Private Insurance Company ripoffs
2. Medicare (when you're 65+)
3. Pay out of pocket
No 3 is not realistic for the vast majority of people because hospital bills and surgery can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars (how many people have that kind of disposal money?)
No 1 we have all seen the results of: a) high unaffordable costs, b) coverage denials and refusals, c) over 20,000 people dying each year from inadequate coverage, d) bankruptcies, e) massive middle-man CEO profits, etc.
So, No 2 is the only workable model here. It is also the way that every other modern industrialized society in the world works.
The United States ranks 37th in the World on health care.
Clearly, we are doing something wrong here and need serious reform.
Tort reform is what is
Tort reform is what is needed. When malpractice costs come down it would lower costs over all. The other reform needed is to get government out of the entire medical industry. Without collusion and favoritism and without regulations which force the insurance industry into expensive and uncompetitive practices there would be more reasonable prices. Government should ease restriction on licensing of medical professionals and allow people to practice many services competently with more focused training in their area of expertise and less overall years in school. Have physicians assistants and less skilled people take on the mundane tasks and open up licensing to more applicants so we increase the pool (and also stop importing medical professionals from other countries to fill the gap.)Revamp medicare which currently is a ponzi scheme and has a crazy payment system that does not adequately compensate doctors. This is just the tip of the iceberg but clearly gov't and single payer health care is not the answer.
well said

This is why the U.S. doesn't negotiate prices...
...here is a link to the legislation that surrenders the government's ability to negotiate drug prices with the drug companies. This is the same thing that will happen with Universal. Pharma is backing the Obama plan with 200 million in advertising, and that's just the beginning.

Paul and Pen on point!
CNN distanced Carville from Paul by putting Dr. Pauls' unique dual perspective only in the health professional opinion segment. Rather than honor him with more time, Wolfe falls back into GOP debate mode, and cuts the good doctor off just as he nails the proper diagnosis.
Notice whose opinions were absent. None of the Libs who voted for it, and none of the Neo-Cons who voted against it.
Ron Paul is the only congressman, of either party, whose current stance is based on the same principles that he held long before his first day in office decades ago. He could have been predicted to have taken the same positions on both liberty and wellness then as now.
Steins' part was a fair opinion maker with good points, but being hung with the albatross of associations with Nixon and Ford damaged his impact. Carville has remained a Lib hitman since Clinton, he has the most recognition in media circles.
Pen launched with a quote that ironically was attributed to Ford during Steins speech-writing days: "A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have."
Here are two signs slogans that I came up with while watching this piece.
Doesn't Big Enough to GIVE ALL = Big Enough to TAKE IT ALL AWAY???
Are Obamas' opinions TOO BIG TO FAIL???
I prefer questions to statements because of their self-confrontational impact. How about you?

Paul and Pen on Point
Sounds like a campaign slogan to me!!
Brevity is the soul of whit
Whether on a subject title, or a protest sign, it helps to sum things up in the fewest words, and hopefully memorable phrasing.
For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it. - Patrick Henry
Wolf Blitzer
usually does a better job of moderating a discussion. I don't think he or anyone else on the program intended to slight Dr. Paul, but it probably worked to the single-payer guy's disadvantage that his mildly billigerant attitude and intense support for single source government run health care, coupled with his connection to President Obama, makes one wonder, "Hey... maybe the president's real game is to use the competition issue as a foot-in-the-door ploy to eventually get to the government-only end game.
Its too bad Paul didn't latch onto the what that 3rd guy kept...
saying about 'intensive lifestyle interventions.'
The guy was advocating some sort of government system that concentrated on getting people to 'change their lifestyles' in order to preempt medical problems. Paul should have asked what that meant exactly, and pointed out that its that sort of talk that gets people anxious about the government getting involved in healthcare. I mean, if no one drank alcohol and or smoked then everyone would be healthier-- would his preferred healthcare plan try and keep people from engaging in those activities? How would it go about doing it? Would we start a 'war' on Tobacco? Would we reenact prohibition?
That's the slippery slope-- if you don't work to keep people from making 'bad' decisions then the costs of the system are enormous-- if you do work to keep people from making bad decisions then how invasive are you willing to be in order to keep costs down and make the system viable?
Its not fair to force tea totaling churchgoers to subsidize my sinful existence-- and its not fair to force me to change my ways when what I do affects no one but myself.
