Do we honestly expect the fed.govt to be everything to everyone????...while it continues to spend millions of tax dollars DAILY to pay for these endless wars? While it spend billions to shoot rockets into space to drill into the moon??? While taxpayers pay billions on this 40 plus year bogus war on drugs??? I believe common sense should tell us that we have to get our prioritiesin order, change policies, bring our troops home, and create jobs that provide a "living" wage. There is no doubt the current system is broken, but we must realize we have a severely bloated government currently and we aren't sitting on the end of a rainbow.
For the record Ron Paul said "NO" when he asked "so you are saying society should just let him die?"
Watch out for the spin doctors.

This headline is completely out of context. If you would all take a minute to listen to what Paul is actually saying you'd understand. Everything in our government is cause and effect. There are so many reasons why our country is falling apart and 90% of it is due to people not taking responsibility for themselves. Grow up and take care of yourself and stop relying on the government to coddle you. The government is not your mom, its time to move out of the basement.

I cannot believe our country has come to this. I watched the President make his jobs bill speech and one thing stood out to me. The Speaker of the House was not wearing a U.S. Flag pin, nor did he stand up once until the end. He stayed seated when his own party were standing up and applauding what the president had to say
Now, one more thing. I am so tired of people bashing Barak Obama. Remember this. He is our elected president and even if you cannot stand the man, respect the OFFICE. Please.

My husband worked from the time he was 17 years old till the age of 58 when he was layed off in Sept. '08. In order to keep insurance thru COBRA we needed to make payments of $1400 A MONTH! How does one do that when u have no income? So when he was diagnosed with stage IV cancer 6 months later, in March '09, I guess these so called fellow human beings would have preferred he just crawled away and died. So much for having any compassion for his pain and suffering, huh? It wasnt a choice not to have insurance for the first time in 31 years, it was circumstances of life. AND HE WAS A REPUBLICAN!

What really gets me is that the right was all complaining about "death panels" in health care reform, when of course the real "death panels" were at insurance companies. And the media played right into the right's hands.

I wonder what the reaction would have been if instead of the 30-year old man dying, it had been his 6 year old son or daughter.

tea bags are the sorriest people on the planet. they do not have a humanitarian bone in any of their bodies. no one should tolerate them in any capacity...ron paul is souless.

Folks are shocked that an astroturf political movement funded by the millionaire Koch Brothers (who, incidentally, were born into luxury), cheers and embraces the death of a hypothetical patient because they didn't purchase health care?

There's a reason the real, moderate Republicans are wanting these RINOs gone, and it's because their brand of crazy has gone from cute to dangerous in the blink of an eye.

Very simple...Ignorance is bliss! The republican party are so hard nosed on their views and contradictory of their Christian based beliefs! The question is would you let the man die?....If you were a true Christian..you would not because Jesus would not! But yet republicans would turn their cheek and say...he made his choice, he has to deal with that consequence. Whats really funny is these republicans would be looking for a handout from the Government or they would blame government for not helping if that tragic situation suddenly happened to them. Especially the ones who yelled in the audience "Yeah!" I am a Christian and God forgive me for saying this but I wish this fate on all the ones who believe in that process...that Government should just stay out of peoples lives and they Americans deal with their own fate. I pray that these republicans are put in that very situation....themselves or a loved one is in need for immediate medical care and they are turned away because they have chosen their ignorant view!

A real "winner" there.

These are the same people who love to show off their "Christianity" , making a show of saying prayers so other mean will see. Jesus called them hypocrits.
