Paul is known for focusing on free-market economics, reduction in the size of government, increased privacy protections for individuals, and a reduction of U.S. participation in international organizations.
Fox News has reported that Paul has been hospitalized for “precautionary” reasons.
Paul’s condition is not currently known.
Update: Dr. Ron Paul tweeted a photo of himself in the hospital with a message: “I am doing fine. Thank you for your concern.”
