Several members of the audience shouted their approval when CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul if he’d rather let a 30-year-old man in a coma die due to lack of health care coverage over mandating health insurance for American citizens.

“Congressman, are you saying society should just let him die?” Blitzer asked.

Though several members of the audience shouted “Yeah!” Paul responded “No.”

“I practiced medicine for several years,” Paul said. “The churches took care of them. We never turned anyone away.” [CNN]

We incorrectly stated earlier that Ron Paul reacted with an “awkward silence.” This isn’t correct; as you can see in this video, he clearly said “no” before the audience started yelling. Our apologies. Thanks to ProducerMatthew for being fantastic and getting this video up ten minutes after the debate.
