Ron Paul Wasn't Joking About Letting Uninsured People Die -- His Uninsured Staffer Died of Pneumonia




“It was stunning. My first reaction is how far have we degenerated as a society?” said NNU Co-President Jean Ross, RN who said she was watching the debate.

The nurses union also notes:

“Healthcare should be a right for everyone, not just a privilege for the few, a point nurses would debate with anyone,” said Ross.

Ross said she was also disturbed by Paul’s comment about “freedom.”

“Abandoning people is not freedom,” said Ross, especially those without the resources to buy increasingly expensive private insurance. "That isn’t what I hear from my patients or their families.”
