“It’s easy to forget that for decades the U.S. had a health care system that was the envy of the world.  We had the finest doctors and hospitals, patients recieved high-quality, affordable medical care, and thousands of privately funded charities provided health services for the poor.

I worked in an emergency room where nobody was turned away for lack of funds.  People had insurance policies for serious problems but paid cash for routine doctor visits.”

 — Doctor Ron Paul
