Chris Matthews Falsely Accuses Ron Paul of Saying He‘d ’Let Someone Die’ During GOP Debate

In the aftermath of a highly scrutinized outburst during Monday night’s GOP debate, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews has tried to pile onto the healthcare question controversy with the demonstrably false claim that Ron Paul said he would let someone die if that person did not have insurance.
Actually, Congressman Paul did not say that.
All that is required to disprove Matthews’s odious allegation is a short viewing of the debate clip in question.
When asked who should pay for a fictitious, gravely injured man without insurance, Ron Paul balked at the current welfare state, and the assumption that people should throw themselves into the care of government whenever they have a health problem.
As a physician with decades of experience practicing medicine, one would hope the media would at least be willing to listen to Ron Paul when it comes to healthcare.
But alas, it seems Matthews has a target, and it appears it’s the reputation of Rep. Paul, facts be damned.
When CNN’s Wolf Blitzer pushed him on the question “Are you saying the society should just let him die?“ Paul responded ”No.”
So did Chris Matthews not watch the debate? Or does he just have a really bad short term memory?
Decide for yourself: you can watch Matthew’s allegation, and Ron Paul’s actual debate response to the healthcare question, below, courtesy of Media Research Center:
In fact, even HuffPo noted (as The Blaze did on Monday) that Paul didn’t agree that the fictitious man should die.
But that apparently didn’t matter to Matthews.

It also wouldn’t hurt for Ron Paul to consider this himself when HE refuses to denounce horrid ads that seek to deliberately and personally defame Perry while claiming to be Ron Paul supporters. IMO, Ron should have denounced those ads and distanced himself from people who would stoop to such levels, rather than belittling anyone who might even bring up the topic.

Posted on September 15, 2011 at 9:13amWe all know Mathew lied. Big deal he lies all the time. That is not the point. the point is this crazy notion about begging for Charity to help you with Healtcare, that is just plain crazy. I had a 3 say stay in a local hospital not long ago. They did the usual battery of tests and finally determined I had a bad case of heartburn. Then the bills started pouring in. I got bills from doctors I never met, bills for stuff i never got…it was endless and relentless. Even my insurance company was getting confused to the point where they were denying payments. The total came out to $67k. Now If I did not have insurance and owned a house and had money in the bank, they would come after me. So, I quess according to Ron Paul you hop in your car and go to your neighbors house and give them the bill as they need to help out. Well if that did not work out well, then you hop in your car and go to your local church and hand them the bill. After you have been kicked out of your church for begging, you only have one option, go see Ron Paul. I am sure his compassion will save the day. The funny thing is I am a Paul supporter, but on this he get a F-. In real land, like earth….people will not hand over cash to cover your medical expenses no matter how Christian, or Right wing you are. Even Beck would tell you to get lost. SO what do you do, well you sell all your stuff and declare bankruptcy and hope you never get sick. Life’s a bitch.

Have you ever asked yourself why healthcare billing is the way it is? If the hospital could only charge the actual patients, do you think this would continue? Is there ANY other business that is run this way? All these test and $67K to uncover a case of heartburn? What other industry would put up with such tom-foolery?
The problem is that the hospitals are playing a game. Run the bill up on you, because you have insurance, trying to cover the cost of those who aren’t paying, along with all the ambulance chasing trial lawyers that are out to sue them for least amount lapse in judgement. Most doctors like it the way it is, as long as they get to paid and everyone courtsies when they walk the halls. The hospital admins are skimming a percentage, so the more that goes through the better.
If the patient had to pay, and the doctors had to justify the procedures before the patient agreed to them, we’d have the lowest health care cost in the world. Please investigate pay-for-service doctors and learn what health care COULD be.

Posted on September 14, 2011 at 4:20pmYou guys are right. And he was definitely wrong for saying that Paul said that VERBATUM. However, if you listen to Paul’s explanation before he was asked the question, he all but said that. And he is talking about what happened when he was in his 20s. People do not have hearts like that now a days, so no one is going to assist their neighbor with health care. If it is not a wealthy relative, this person would be on their own. Everyone who does not have health care are not unemployed and or on welfare. Contrary to popular belief. A l;arge amount of citizens work and cannot afford a mortgage and expensive health care. So we should say OH WELL CHAMEL RIGHT.

Posted on September 14, 2011 at 4:37pmMy friend it wouldn’t take much to look back to the 1800s or earlier to see that when people got stabbed, shot or what have you they excepted their fate. For some reason we think we should be handed everything on a silver platter now-a-days. People and cultures have changed so much since I was a kid in the 60s. We have dumb-downed our kids, taught them to text and use social media as a pacifier rather than hand writing letters or talking to them in person when possible. We wake up these days figuring out how we can entertain ourselves primarily rather than how we can help our neighbors, friends and family. We feel we have the right to ALL benefits without doing the work to earn it. I truly feel that chasing after the silver platter that the Government wants to give us replaces the value of Faith and conditions us to work less. Faith in something greater than ourselves is what nurtures exceptional-ism. Having health benefits as a mandatory requirement by 2014 not only is dangerous for our civilization but destructive to the greatness that is produced in a free market society. I would encourage you to rethink your position. It use to be the churches that helped out but the Government hog-tied them with regulation so they can control the pulpit.

Posted on September 14, 2011 at 5:38pmThis is a matter of philosophy/religion/wisdom. People for Obamacare cannot get that “utopia”, having the Govn‘t taking care of everyone for everything because they don’t think others will take care of them or they won’t/can’t take care of themselves….is NOT realistic/constitutional/attainable/sustainable financially plus it ends up being destructive and not constructive. No understanding of human nature (not “progressing” but regresses when given half the chance). Your “utopia” thinking sounds good & compassionate on the surface when in reality it’s not because people take advantage/abuse when they are given things without sacrificing/working/using self-discipline on their own. They don’t understand “tough love” works & just think it cruel. Don’t like the truth of bad consequences happening when bad judgements are made. There will always be the “poor” with us as Jesus said – the answer is for others to voluntarily help – not the Govnt. It’s good for those that help…builds character & more compassion. Yes, there are still ppl that do that – churches/charities abound. Also re healthcare – most go to doctors for everything which they don’t need to & need to learn home remedies more. In legitimate cases, already have laws where they are not denied medical care. With Obamacare, you are forced to RATION care…turn away high cost treatment cases according to age, etc.(“death panels”). I know – you don’t get it — what a world!

Posted on September 14, 2011 at 4:16pmDr. Ron Paul, MD, Lt Col, USAF, Ret., though much maligned, recognizes as do Tea Party patriots, the urgent need to return to the Constitution as our first, best and last hope to save our nation.
America should listen to Congressman Paul very carefully because he’s correct.
Rather than mortgage our freedom, we must limit our bloated federal government to Constitutionally enumerated functions, while properly relying on the states for additional governance as their citizens deem necessary.
Except for Dr. Paul, politicians avoid the real cause of our economic problems, which is the Federal Reserve. It’s caused a century of turmoil including the great depression and a 95% devaluation of our once ‘good as gold’ dollar, now replaced by fiat Federal Reserve notes.[1]
As Chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy, Dr. Paul is more knowledgeable about monetary policy than any other member of Congress. He is absolutely correct about how to solve the economic problems threatening our jobs, our children’s future and the very survival of America as a free nation!
We don’t want to waste years with a detailed audit of the Federal Reserve that accomplishes nothing economically. We want to abolish the Federal Reserve and return to Constitutional sanity!

Yesterday, it was announced that an astounding 1 in 6 Americans are living in poverty. President Obama’s response? To demand a tax on donations to soup kitchens and other charities that help people desperately in need. The President’s proposal will impact approximately 40% of all the tax deductible contributions, and essentially penalize soup kitchens, hospitals, and churches that provide essential services to those who need them most. It’s no wonder this tax hike has been rejected on both sides of the aisle. Via Drudge Report.

Please re-watch the video. NOWHERE did Ron Paul ever mention that people ought to perish simply because they don’t have enough funds to pay for medical care. Way back in the 1960′s he would allow his patients access to free medical care, which would explain why he would morally reject any Medicare/Medicaid plans. If the government were to get its hands out of the healt-care industry, the cost for medical care would be way lower than it is now.

Posted on September 14, 2011 at 10:46pmDr. Ron Paul is the only candidate with the integrity to say that the responsibility to do charity and have compassion to others belongs to the people and the Church, and should not be put on the Government. Our current system and notion in society that Government must run a Welfare State is due to our inaction, irresponsibility, cowardice and unwillingness to genuinely do what Christ commanded us to do in the World as individuals. I, as a Christian, have an obligation to personally help others in need when I’m able to if the opportunity arises. We shouldn’t sit idle and put the responsibility on the Government to do our duty as Christians and neighbors. Our Constitution restrained and limited the Government so that private Citizens may fully achieve their potential and talents through freedom and blessings granted and bestowed to them by God. President John Adams said it best, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other”. Our form and system of Government cannot work in a non-Christian nation. Communists and socialists all rely on the ever growing and all powerful Government to meet all their needs, in a collective and forceful manner, without regard to Private Property and Individual Liberty. Patrick Henry declared, “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Chr

Of course, the problem is that it seems that progressives think (or, at least, want the public to think) that “insurance=health care”. This is not true; health insurance co.’s have absolutely NO power to deny health care, only to deny paying for it. There is this novel concept of PAYING FOR IT YOURSELF (aka “personnal responsibility”), and if you can’t, there is such a thing as charity—which does NOT include the government—, so that the situation described is highly improbable.

Greetings, fellow American.
I see you do not agree with Mr. Paul’s foreign policy.
How do you feel about a worldwide Shari’a law ?
I think I know. Probably the same way I do.

Do you think we should expect them to tolerate a WORLDWIDE DEMOCRACY ?????
Take your blinders off !!!!
