GOP health care bill won’t be any better than ObamaCare, says Dr. Ron Paul – Fox Business

Former presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul (R-Texas) on Thursday expressed why he disapproves of the new GOP health care bill.

I dont expect it to be better because philosophically there is no difference because theres too many mandates, even on insurance companies. They have all these benefits, but then they holler and scream when they have to cover things. Republicans unfortunately havent done much better than the Democrats, he told FOX Business Liz McDonald.

Paul agrees with his son, Sen. Rand Pauls (R-KY) decision to stand against the GOP health care bill.

Hes (Rand Paul) on the right trackI know the points that Ive heard him sayget away from the benefits to the big corporations, in particular the insurance companies, yes he is right about that, he said.

The former presidential candidate believes that private insurance companies should compete with one another to lower monthly premiums.

The big problem is the more important services, the less the government should be involved, but medicine is one of the most important services some people will say. Thats where we have the most government interference, which does nothing more than boost up the cost, makes it complicated, he said.
