[quote]If he didn't take the medication - that was his business. Thanks to your health system (which I am told leaves leaves about a third of the population without health cover) - I imagine not everybody can afford medication.

weelittledrummer,
What Don said seems to me to be perfectly reasonable (except for hi reference to Limbaugh's "mocking" which, again, I don't think Limbaugh was doing).
But not taking the medication IS Fox's business. The speculation was whether or not he had.
Fox, I am almost sure, a multi-millionaire who has health coverage. And that wasn't what he was stumping for anyway.
And you are wrong by Fox's own admission. You were not witnessing the disease (as you say) "in its pure form. Fox says that he was, at the point of the ad filming, "over medicated".
