Paul: 'Right to health care' is slavery | |||||||
| A hearing of the Senate HELP Subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging looked at emergency room use and took an odd turn Wednesday when Sen. Rand Paul compared the “right to health care” to slavery. “With regard to the idea whether or not you have a right to health care you have to realize what that implies. I am a physician. You have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery. You are going to enslave not only me but the janitor at my hospital, the person who cleans my office, the assistants, the nurses. … You are basically saying you believe in slavery,” said Paul (R-Ky.), who is an ophthalmologist. http://www.readersupportednews.org/off-site-news-section/50-50/5897-rand-paul-right-to-health-care-is-slavery WASHINGTON — President Obama’s main idea for getting quality health care at less cost was in jeopardy after key medical providers yesterday called his administration’s initial blueprint so complex it is unworkable. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2011/05/12/medical_group_pans_key_element_of_obama_health_care_plan/ Health-care lawsuits: Delaying the inevitableBy E.J. Dionne Jr.,History lessons for Obama and other liberalsOutside the venue where Rep. Paul Ryan recently spoke in Madison, Wis., a university town never lacking protesters, one product of America’s education system shouted that Ryan’s budget proposalwould return America to the bad old days of the “18th-century robber barons.” The young man, full of zeal and destitute of information, does not know that those capitalists of whom he disapproves — the ones who built the railroads and other sinews of the nation’s industrial might — operated in the second half of the 19th century, not in 18th-century agrarian America. Massachusetts health reform a double-edged sword for RomneyThe state has 'nearly universal pride' over the universal coverage Mitt Romney signed into law as governor.

Senate amends health care bill, sends it back to HousePosted May 11, 2011, at 8:36 p.m. AUGUSTA, Maine —The Maine Senate on Wednesday night gave approval to a Republican-backed health care overhaul bill, despite Democratic pleas for more time to study and refine it. “The people of Maine are depending on us to do something,” Senate President Kevin Raye, R-Perry, said during a debate that lasted nearly four hours. The 24-10 vote was largely along party lines, as it was in previous House votes in favor of the bill. The bill now goes back to the House, where lawmakers will consider two amendments added in the Senate that helped Republicans pick up a few additional Democratic votes.
