Pro-birth, not pro-life
How about children too young to be vaccinated? Typical conservative doesn't care babies once they're out of the womb.
Did you read that Washington Post article? They said they couldn't prove a negative, which you can't, not that he was correct.
"A Social Security Administration analysis of the survey said: “Many aged persons never recover from the economic effects of a single hospital episode. Unfortunately, the heaviest burden is likely to fall on those with the least resources,” and “even for the insured there is no present guarantee against dependency in old age caused by catastrophic medical expenses.”
"In terms of Paul’s notion that government benefits provide a perverse incentive for doctors to charge more, that’s not possible with strict price controls in place for Medicare and Medicaid. Theory has it that providers just shift costs to the privately insured rather than absorb them, but Ginsburg said only the most elite hospitals can do that for fear of being dropped by insurers. Most will instead change their production processes to cut costs, he said."
Okay then. "We" have a choice: attempt to force others to be vaccinated (which "we" can't do anyway) or vaccinate your own rear end of your own free will so you can stay the fuck alive.
What if you don't have access or can't afford it?
Medicine was real cheap in the 1800s. A saw and some leeches and you were set.Ron Paul, based on his experience as a physician before Medicare, made the same point I am making and the Washington Post tried to refute it. Although they tried hard and gave him three pinocchios, even they admitted that they could not refute this assertion.

In trying to refute him, they used a government survey from 1963:
"A later study from the Social Security Administration made similar conclusions, as we learned from PolitiFact. The 1963 Survey of the Aged showed that seniors were paying especially high medical costs because they needed more care and that median costs for elderly couples needing hospital care reached about $7,000 a year in today’s dollars."
Medicare.gov estimates that people on Medicare today in good health spend $6600 per person out of pocket, about the same out of pocket costs as elderly couples needing hospital care did in 1963.

Medicare has fucked up health care for older people far beyond any possible repair.

Stand out on the street with a sign that says "my kids need their shots, will work for shots" and wait for the pastor of the First Baptist Church to come by and take your family in his Volvo to one of his parishioner pediatricians.

The cost of things increase over time....get the fuck out of here....
The very same procedure in 1963 cost much much less in today's dollars that it costs today.
I hope nobody is getting the very same procedure in 2015 that they got in 1963.
I hope nobody is making babies in 2015 the same way they did in 1963.
