With regard to the idea of whether you have a right to health care, you have to realize what that implies. Itโs not an abstraction. Iโm a physician. That means you have a right to come to my house and conscript me. It means you believe in slavery. It means that youโre going to enslave not only me, but the janitor at my hospital, the person who cleans my office, the assistants who work in my office, the nurses.
Rand PaulMy belief has always been that national defense is the most important thing we do, but we shouldn't borrow to pay for it.
Rand PaulI think there is some overreach in the sense that the EPA now says: if Congress doesn't pass greenhouse emissions regulations or testing, we'll simply do it on our own. I think that's an arrogance of a regulatory body run amok.
Rand PaulI think that there is a bipartisan consensus that's incorrect that we should have the whole world be in NATO. For example, if we had Ukraine and Georgia in NATO - and this is something McCain and the other neocons have advocated for - we would be at war now because Russia has invaded both of them.
Rand PaulI think it's a conundrum. If we have no laws on this, people take it to one extension further, does it have to be humans, you know?
