The Libertarians always muddle off their bizarre notions on economics as if their ideas were American nationalistic gospel, and now their head poli guru, Ron Paul, has entered into the health care debate with an idiotic comment that Health Care is not a right, at least as far as his backward Texas Libertarian head sees it.

He has some pretty bizarre reasoning behind his Neanderthal POV, too. Like the idea that something he calls socialized medicine has already been put in place inside the US during the last 30 years, and is causing the delivery of American medicine to now malfunction!

Ron Paul: ‘Well, I don’t like socialized medicine. We’ve had corporate medicine now for about 30 years which is managed medicine by the government, and it has been a total disaster and it didn’t do much more than push the costs up.’

Wait a second, Ron, corporate medicine is not socialized medicine managed by the government, as you assert it is! In fact, corporate medicine is the free market that you think is the cure for everything, and the fact that the corporations use their own corporate government to mismanage this system for their greater corporate profit taking is not in the least bit surprising, and it is not socialism either.

Ron Paul again… ‘We can hardly expect more government to cure our current health care woes. As with all goods and services, medical care is best delivered by the free market, with competition and financial incentives keeping costs down.’

The Libertarians paint this rosy picture of the free market delivering medicine to everybody, but that is simply not how it works anywhere in the world, and it did not ever work that way before inside the US. That is why the churches ran so much US health care delivery in the past, because without it, bodies of the sick, old, and dying were simply left to rot in the street or inside hovels by Ron Paul’s beloved ‘free market’.

Barack Obama is set to keep the corporate profit making inside the US Medical System intact and is not going to reform this rotten corporate system in any fundamental way. The Libertarians bizarre economic religion that calls the natural tendency of corporations to become monopolies and to use their corporate government to maximize their benefits government socialism adds nothing to any discussion that will ever make good medicine within better reach of the average American. Simply put, Doctor Ron Paul’s Libertarian positions are poison and not medicine. Swallow this Libertarian nonsense at your own risk, but it will not lead to anything better than what Barack Obama and his Democratic Party are pushing. Ron Paul and the Libertarians would make an even bigger mess of things than the Democrats will!
