 Rand Paul on health care: "The fundamental reason WHY MEDICARE IS FAILING is WHY THE SOVIET UNION FAILED -- socialism doesn't work And that is why it is failing  in socialist countries like Canada, the UK, Norway, Luxembourg, Singapore and Germany.  Rand Paul is an inspired Libertarian so how can we disagree with his profundity.
