Plus the fact the he's a Republican and such a staunch admirer of Ronald Reagan that I wouldn't feel right supporting him. Lastly, I'm for making good quality, affordable healthcare available to everyone. He doesn't support that.
This is simply untrue. Had you taken any time to investigate his policies on healthcare you would understand this. He is for ending government involvement in healthcare, and allowing the free market to determine prices. It is because of governments current intervention into healthcare that costs are so high. His policies allow more people to HELP THEMSELVES to attain healthcare. Many people throw around a statistic that 47 million Americans have no healthcare, and it is a grossly misrepresented number. Nearly 1/3 of those in the 47 million are people who are switching jobs and will have no healthcare for 3 months or less. The true number of people who can truely not afford healthcare is much lower, and Ron Paul believes that the majority of those cases could be handled by charitable organizations. Additionally, he believes that there should be no FEDERAL mandates for government healthcare, and that the right to institute such programs is reserved to the states respectively. The Federal government has no authority to implement such plans, as per the Constitution. You might want to give that document a read sometimes, as further debating someone who has not read it is rather trivial.

Also, quality healthcare and government intervention are antonyms. It is an inevitable fact that when government gets involved, quality goes DOWN!
