10. I didn't think y'all would do worse than Bunning
but you did.

I hope the next Democrat who challenges him is enough of a dirty fighter to call him a Carpetbagger, something that still carries a sting in Dixie. I hope that twisted idiot is a one term wonder.

5. So is the right to an attorney enslavement of lawyers?
You can pay for your own or have one appointed by the court, but you have the right to one. Whatever you might say about the pay of public defenders, it ain't slavery.

6. I dunno. Single payer that specifies treatments and drugs, which I believe is the way to go,
Might fall into this more coercive category.

Economic decision making doesn't work in health care because people don't understand enough to make it work properly.

laughing academy think that Rand Paul (and his Magic Toupee) is crazier than a shithouse rat.

Secondly, he has no idea of how much doctors HATE insurance companies. The ex-husband of a former colleague of mine is a neurologic radiologist and a multi-generation country club Repig. He once told me at a cocktail party that Medicare for all would save his practice a fortune in administrative costs and that was his reason for SUPPORTING single-payer.

9. Sounds right
the doctors i know just want to practice medicine and not be bogged down with insurance nonsense. Besides, as one doctor I know put it, insurance companies have never cured a single desease or given a single shot.
