I guess I shouldn't be surprised, Dr. Paul is pretty absolute on his other views- they stay in line with his understanding of the constitution and his libertarian beliefs.

I understand that there are people who disagree with my position on health care but so far the doctors i've talked to have made clear two points on the public vs. private argument:

1. Public health care benefits everyone.
2. Private health care benefits me. (as a doctor)

It also came across as a basic sort of understanding about how the two systems functioned, and was presented as fact/foundation for further debate on the finer details.

Just from my experience I had thought Paul would have softer views on private health care because he was a doctor, but it looks like he's a libertarian first.
