"Tragic battle with Pnuemonia"???

Are you fucking kidding me in THIS day and age??
It's 2008 not 1880.. next time kick some of those campaign funds going to waste in your bank account to your friends medical costs so they wont be tragically killed by outdated diseases.

Of course, with a universal healthcare system, his tragic battle with pnuemonia would probably have been much shorter...

Go home and suck on your mother's teat Pakivelli. Kent's death had nothing to do with socialized healthcare. Kent died because he refused doctors orders to rest because he was fighting for something he held more important than his own life. Kent was a true patriot fighting for your freedom. Maybe you should try to figure out why he was willing to give his own life for this.

Universal healthcare is a nightmare. Believe me, you don't want it (I live in Canada). It eats up half the federal budget (then they get provincial funding and separate fund raisers on top of that). And what do we have to show for it? People dying in waiting rooms after waiting 18 hours just to have someone take a look at them. And there are still people who need rare and expensive treatments that are refused "universal" coverage. Go find a good health insurance provider and be glad you don't have to put up with this mess.

That is a load of crap.
My friend dislocated his shoulder earlier and had to get the doctor to put it back for him. We were there for an hour max and it cost him nothing.

You want to talk about government waste?
Go take a look at how much the Federal government has wasted appeasing the oil industries and special interests including the US government.

Saying that the government policies towards health care is fine considering the Conservatives hate socialized health care and have been trying to introduce private services, which is why we have slow wait times to begin with. All our med school grads would get recruited by US hospitals and they wouldn't step in to stop it.

"My condolences. But while pneumonia is a common disease, dying from it ISNT so common as it used to be. Especially for those with decent healthcare."

Nonsense. Pneumonia generally sets in after the person is already fucked up. For alot of cancer victims, it's what kills them as their immune system is shot and they can't fight off infections.
Yes, health care and treatments have improved and continue to do so, but if you think all of that is due to private hospitals, you're mistaken.

"And yes i was and i still am. You're telling me that all the money donated to his failed campaign that is magically going.. hmmm WHERE? and he couldnt kick a few thousand to the aid and care of his 'dear good friend?'
Pffft, Ron Paul is the cockbag, sir, not I, for pointing out that if you're going to accept millions of dollars into your private coffers on a failed attempt to run for president, the least you could do is take some of the money you are shaving off the top and get your SUPPORTERS AND FRIENDS some decent antibiotics."

Yes, because it's the responsibility of the Ron Paul donators somehow to fund the health care for Ron Paul's friends and associates. Do you realize just how contradictory that is to everything these men stand and stood for? Look at republican assholes like Tom Delay who has been busted so many times taking/ giving kickbacks to friends.

Just where are your values, or do you even know what those are?

"A campaign that is so dead in the water that most people arent even aware he is STILL RUNNING.."

You do know that he stopped running for president a few weeks ago right?

Too bad that with him quitting, he's got more recognition in the mainstream press now, and more supporters learning about his ideals. He's got more people willing to stand up against this neocon menace you keep supporting for whatever unknown reason.

"And Universal Healthcare is a SHAM. It is failing in every other country that has tried it. The evidence is there, it's all over the place, go look it up.
Kent would have died waiting to get diagnosed for Pneumonia if you and your liberal buddies had your way, because he'd have been sitting around waiting for Lakisha to get her third std check-up this week."

This is by far the most laughable and contradictory comment. If the US had socialized health care, this entire argument would be moot as he could have just gone to a doctor at any point and been covered for services. The private care system you tout failed him, just like it fails millions of Americans who are treated like second class citizens.

At least we have STD clinics that anyone can go to anytime, discreetly, and not worry about some insurance agent turning down an HIV exam because it's not part of your coverage.
