Without question, the true goal of some in Congress is to create a system of socialized medicine. It's politically expedient to slap a patients’ rights label on legislation that simply leads us closer to a complete government takeover of medicine.
Ron Paul
Image
Reject the phony Patients' Bill of Rights....We don't have to continue down the path of socialized medical care, especially in America where free markets have provided so much for so many.
Ron Paul
Image
We don't have the freedom of speech to talk about the weather. We have the first amendment so we can say some very controversial things.
