The gist of this guy's argument is that the issue didn't really come up, since once the medicare/medicaid patient found out that Dr. Paul didn't take such payments, the patient would quietly slink away.

He has tried other arguments along this same tack, first claiming that Dr. Paul's claim of free treatment was bogus because elderly women (medicare only serves those over 65) don't need OB doctors. Of course, this completely ignores medicaid (treatment for the poor) and Gyn services.

This guy is just a Ron Paul anti-r3VOlutionary, and is looking for some way to claim that the good Dr. is lying or making up stories. He never presents any proof, and structures things so that anyone who disagrees with him should present the proof.

I suggest ignoring him, as he has been throughly debunked.
