Members don't see this ad.

i want to know if any premeds have a strong opinion about this

 

[TheRealMD]

Before or after he saves the world?

 

[collegy]

He's got my vote, I just wish the media focused on him more... what are they afraid of.

i have to admit i'm sorta the guy to just jump on random bandwagons that pass my way. ron paul was one of them, and for the longest time i had been chanting his name (u know, to provoke a response from people, make conversation, fill the silence, or pretend i know a thing or two politics when i really don't). however, today, bored out of my mind, i youtubed "ron paul", sat through his whole speech at google, and felt absolutely pathetic for how long i've been wallowing in ignorance.

i really feel like he'd make a tremendous difference for the US, because if he is elected, he would bring radical changes. other candidates only say what we want to hear, but ron paul, he says what he wants us to hear. he truly has a message to send us, and one that is extraordinarily simple, and can be applied to all issues. america is in big ****. and i feel as though the next election might actually be a historic event that will decide the fate of this nation.

and here we are, playing the game setup by the US educational system, unaware that the entire nation could be collapsing before our eyes.

perhaps i shouldn't say 'we'. it could just be me, and i feel terrible about myself at the moment.

If you're a student, you can likely speak with a professional for free or a greatly reduced cost.

You sound brainwashed and ready to join a cult. You should talk with someone.

IM me if you have any questions.

 

[narretgrez]

lol, ghostfoot, i hope you're joking.

i think there will be many more people ready to join cults as the US approaches bankruptcy and the dollar dies.

 

[armybound]

is the physician profession at risk or something? what is there to be saved?

Ron Paul will never get elected, so this conversation is pointless.

Ron Paul is a great guy, and he would help out medicine by bringing it closer to the free market.

And, he's delivered 3000+ babies!

 

[etf]

he wants to abolish the federal reserve, income taxes, and go back to the gold standard. no thanks.

Ha, with a name like "etf," i thought you'd be more economically sensible.

 

[hawk126]

No. The man won't even finish in the top 3 in a presidential primary. Jeffersonian politics are a little anachronistic. He's not even close to electable... and this from an extreme fiscal conservative.

 

[Depakote]

moving to topics in healthcare.

Does he actually want to go back to the gold standard? I thought he was just against fiscal irresponsibility and printing $$$.

He would go back to the gold standard in his dream world, but he admits that it is not realistic in our society. He wants to stop the government from printing money out of thin air, to keep the value of the dollar from decreasing even more than it already has.

That almost sounds rational 😉. He'd never get it through congress, because they couldn't give things to their buddies with fake money if we stopped printing it out of thin air.

Giving doctors the freedom to collectively negotiate with insurance companies and drive down the cost of medical care.

so far so good...

Reform licensure requirements so that pharmacists and nurses can perform some basic functions to increase access to care and lower costs.

CRNAs with more power? not so good.

By removing federal regulations, encouraging competition, and presenting real choices, we can make our health care system the envy of the world once again.

Amen.

Ron Paul can shoot bolts of lightning from his eyes and fireballs from his arse!!! 😱 I hope he wins!!!! 😀

 

[bigdogc]

January 1st, 1971: 1 swiss franc = 23 cents
January 1st, 2007: 1 swiss franc = 83 cents

The swiss franc has increased by 3.6x over the dollar in this time period. In the last 5 years the dollar has lost > 40% against the Euro and swiss franc. Americans and their government live on debt but the prosperity based on IOUs is coming to a close. You can call Ron Paul crazy or "fringe" but to vote more of the same is to hammer the final nails into our country's economic grave.
