Ron Paul: dead, uninsured staffer didn't need government help

Rep. Ron Paul, sticking to his guns, told TPM that government should stay out of health care:

Ron Paul told TPM on Wednesday that even if there’s a “case or two” that makes Americans uncomfortable, the government should stay out of the health care business. Even if one of the cases in question is his former campaign manager, Kent Snyder, who died with $400,000 in unpaid medical bills after being unable to secure health insurance due to a pre-existing condition. 

The staffer's friends and family took up a collection, which yielded $38,000 dollars.  I guess doctors are and hospitals are supposed to randomly absorb these losses rather than violate liberarian principles by having mandatory comprehensive health insurance.
