With more Tea Party power they both should get their wish because Charity Hospitals should be better known as Death Hospitals. And even the Upper Middle Class could face a greater threat of death if they get sick because chickens for medicine and Charity tended hospitals are not a good system for rapid medical advances.
Do you think a medical researcher is going to wake up one morning feel hungry for chicken and therefore go invent a cure for cancer? It takes years to develop and test anything like that. Who sends the researcher the chickens in advance?
In fact, in the days when the Tea Party candidates say they yearn for where medicine was paid for in chickens, eggs, and house painting, medicine advanced much more slowly, and a much greater percentage of patients died because a chicken based economic model is not a medium for funding medical research.
Oh wait, you mean that wealthy Tea Party candidates should get the reward of all of the rest of us paying amazing amounts of money for medical research that we can't afford, because how do you chickenize the price of heart attack rescue and care?
So hundreds of millions of millions, maybe billions of dollars come out of the pockets of ordinary people to go into research, but that's only for Ron Paul, Daddy Warbucks, and other multi millionaires because under their plans people paying in chickens and painting houses could maybe afford to pay for a nose bleed, but not much else.
To really go libertarian, all that medical research is going to have to stop, because the funding comes from our taxes which Ron Paul now calls theft. So there won't be research even for the likes of Paul, and Warbucks. Medicine doesn't advance well under the chicken monetary system.
Think of how poorly it developed through the early 20th century, all the while women died in childbirth, men of heart attacks, everyone of diseases that swept through communities.
I have a family story of an epidemic, no make that two, that swept through Denver in the early 20th century when the town was hit by twin epidemics of smallpox and diphtheria. My grandmother's family of birth caught smallpox one after the other. The first to sicken, one of the girls, was taken to the smallpox hospital for "proper care". But the nurses were working two hospitals and traveling between them and, unfortunately, the other hospital was for treating diphtheria. Of course, the nurses were also putting themselves and their families at risk by treating anyone, but they did it for a few dollars and because no one else would.
Working thus they succeeded in transferring the germs between the two hospitals and keeping up a nearly perfect record of killing every patient that entered either building. In my grandmother's family no one went to the hospital after their daughter/sister died even though nearly every member was ill, and in many cases in epidemics the extra effort of caring for family members was often enough to wear down the health of the caregiver who would then become to weak to fight off the disease. I don't know how my family managed it, but I did go search out that part of the family tree and confirmed that one of those who would have been my great aunt did die in a smallpox epidemic. I guess the good news was that no one else died near that time so they must have survived.
Charity Hospitals though have never been known for much quality care. Ron Paul called them Christian hospitals, apparently since much of the country doesn't believe you can ever question anything coming from the Christian Church, because no Christian would ever lie or steal or set up a shoddy medical system for poor people, though that tends to be what results from any charity based medicine.
Charity hospitals have long been known as dangerous and odious places, but hey "Are there no workhouses, Are there no prisons?" right, Dr. Paul? As a matter of fact, the more I hear from Doctor Ron (I, me, mine) Paul. the uglier his plans look.
I'm amazed a his ravenous greed upon hearing him declare that taxing him steals from his pocket as he drives on public streets and highways, and went to schools that likely had some financing from the government, and as he is protected by the police that patrol the streets at night an army that keeps other nations from even considering coming here to enslave us, and, BTW, lives in the Imperial City (DC), taking a government wage.
He should lead the way, and go back home, to practice chicken based medicine, just like he's telling us to do, and stop taking money out of our pockets!
Part of this analysis relies on a video I viewed recently in which Ron Paul said that in the past that people used chickens or house painting to pay off their doctors. I know a Nevada lady said similar things in the 2010 Senate primary and lost that race based on her statements, but I am sure it was Ron Paul saying it in the video that I viewed. It makes me wonder why Mr Paul doesn't face the same accountability as the Nevada woman did for similar statements, but then again this is Ron (fucking) Paul, Dudes. The press worships at his feet.
