Texas Congressman Ron Paul warned recently that the draconian healthcare bill currently in legislative progress looks extremely likely to pass, an eventuality that would deliver a great blow for freedom in the face of big government.

The Congressman issued the warning on the nationally syndicated Alex Jones show, commenting:

“I’m less optimistic about anything decent coming out of the healthcare. I think it’s going to get worse, the people of this country accept incrementalism, medical care is seen somewhat differently, they don’t see the same principles of liberty applied to medical care as they do to their second amendment and their first amendment rights.”

When asked if he believed the Obamacare bill would pass, Paul replied:

“Yes, to some degree… they’re not going to get total control, but they’re going to have more control, the quality of healthcare is going to go down.”

“I imagine that by the time the dust settles, they will undermine the ability to get a medical savings account,” the Congressman added, explaining that “right now, if you really want to take care of yourself, you can go out and get a medical savings account, pay for all your local bills, your doctors bills and put money in a savings account and get a tax benefit… but this crowd up here now is not interested in protecting your rights.”
