WHAT RON PAUL NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND

This morning at my Church's Men's Breakfast I was reminded that during a 2011 Republican Primary Debate Ron Paul said that Americans who had not bothered to buy Health Insurance essentially had no one but themselves to blame if they got sick or injured and did not have coverage, that it was their own fault and so, the whole field agreed, they should just be left to die. What MR. Ron Paul needs to understand is that, prior to the passage of The PATIENT PROTECTION And Affordable Care Act, those of us with what The Health Insurance INDUSTRY calls "Preexisting Conditions" who live in States that did not have even a Risk Pool (which Texas, amazingly, did) had no options for purchasing Health Insurance because,, before being required to by Law, Health Insurance Companies would not come near us with a Ten-Thousand Foot Pole. So perhaps MR. Ron Paul and others should make sure that they have some idea what they are talking about before they open their mouths.
