Remember this chilling clip...

...from the other day? Ron Paul was asked a hypothetical question: "If a healthy, employed 30-year old man without insurance had a serious accident, who should pay for his treatment?"

From Ezra Klein's blog today:

In 2008, [Ron Paul's] campaign manager, a healthy-but-uninsured 49-year-old, died from pneumonia and left his family with $400,000 in medical debt.

And therein lies the problem with libertarians (and all other ideologues): They don't live in the real world.
