1. Hell yes!

Stomp on that little randroid toad!

[rock]

2. Very nice slap down

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.

[erronis]

14. A walking/talking bag of fallacies.

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.

3. Too bad that Bernie did NOT actually set paul straight,

by discussing the logical fallacy of what paul said.

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. Rand Paul

Phony fizzician - phony senator.

[Duval]

5. I honestly did not know that

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!!

6. Rand Paul's weaseliness on full display.

IDIOT. Societies that take care of the health of their Citizenry PROSPER!!!!

[Joe Chi Minh]

24. But they don't want the citizenry to prosper. They would actually

prefer to be big fish in a small pond, than medium-sized fish in medium-sized or even large ponds.

As Gore Vidal remarked: 'It's not enough to succeed. Others have to be seen to fail.' (not necessarily verbatim)

9. Just slay the hucksters with the truth Bernie . Make them bleed . Go Bernie Go .

[Qutzupalotl]

10. Paul thinks paid professionals are slaves?

That doesn't remotely resemble slavery.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

11. That's basic first year contract law.

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.

26. In this society, we are all slaves at some level...

Try not doing what is expected of you, then see what happens...

12. LOL

Bernie Rules!

[LiberalArkie]

13. I think I now understand how they see "Rights" and Aid and the government helping the citizens.

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.

15. The only way to set those silver spoon fed rich brats straight

is a good swift kick in the ass.

[William Seger]

17. We, as taxpayers, pay Paul's salary as a Senator

... 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.

[Unknown Beatle]

18. Rand Paul is a senator from Kentucky.

[William Seger]

19. Oh, yeah

Brain fart -- for some reason "stupid Senator" made me think of Texas.

[JDPriestly]

20. Thanks for posting.

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.

21. Holy shit Rand Paul is an idiot.

[kenfrequed]

22. Rand Paul is a moron

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.

[Enrique]

23. Rand Paul has a point

in Canada, the Mounties breaking into doctors' homes and forcing them to treat patients is a huge problem.

[Helen Borg]

25. Rand Paul is just a dumb demagogue!

[orpupilofnature57]

28. They love that there, look at Shrub and Bonzo's buddy .

[orpupilofnature57]

27. Greenspan, Boner, this idiot. Who did Hillary ever chide on,

in person???
