Physician Compensation Numbers Show How Sinister is Rand Paul’s “Slavery” Lie
Lawrence O’Donnell described Rand Paul’s allegation that physicians live like slaves in the United States as “demented”. O’Donnell explained: “It may come as a big surprise to Rand Paul to discover, as a physician specialist, whose median income, as we’ve pointed out, in this country, is now over $340,000, that slaves were actually paid much less than that. How much less? $340,000 less. Rand Paul, a medical specialist, who’s lived and worked in the country where physicians make more money than anywhere else in the world, actually has the ugly, hysterically self-centered and vile audacity to equate his rich self to a slave. Nothing more unhinged from reality and decency has been said, in the United States Senate, in our time. It is utterly unpardonable.”
