Democrats To Develop Plan To Sell Socialized And Crappy Health Care
The odds are running 100-1 that their plan revolves around fear tactics and the use of words such as racist, bigot, and other personal attacks. Don’t forget, if you are against socializing the health care system, you are an extreme right wing extremist for being against expanding the power of the federal government
Alarmed at Republican attacks on President Obama’s health care proposals, Senate Democrats huddled Wednesday with White House officials to formulate a response.
Democrats said they felt an urgent need to devise a “message” to answer Republicans assertions that Mr. Obama’s proposals could lead to “a Washington takeover of health care.”
Isn’t “a Washington takeover of health care” kinda the point of President Neophyte’s, and leading Democrats, plan?
What are the Democrats so worried about? How about this message from the Republicans
In the memorandum, Mr. Luntz said his polling and analysis had identified this as “the best anti-Democrat message”: “No Washington bureaucrat or health care lobbyist should stand between your family and your doctor. The Democrats want to put Washington politicians in charge of your health care.”
Yeah, I don’t want Washington, which can do very little in an adequate manner, involved with my health care. Seemingly, most who do want Washington involved are grasshoppers, those on the left who do not want to have to think for themselves, and want Government to take care of them while us Ants pay for it. And if government is in charge, we might see headlines such as
- We must end neglect of elderly (elderly are much neglected, due to costs, in countries with government provided health care)
- Hospital empty because of ‘Mediterranean’ temperatures (the pipes are broken, and the floors are really hot, because government cannot get it fixed)
- Terminally ill should be let die at home – report (because they are a drain on the government money, so, to hell with them. Government at its finest)
- Let’s not make hard-to-reach patients the victims of an NHS budget cut (who gets left out in the dark when money gets tight? Poor and rural folks)
And here’s a favorite: NHS top-up fee plan puts patients at risk, warn MPs. The British government is much concerned with people buying their own, and more expensive, medicines from private providers. What they are really concerned with is people realizing that government run health care purely sucks, and you get what you pay for. TANSTAFL. There ain’t no thing such as a free lunch.

None of the Luntz ‘messages’ are going to fly with real people who have personally been grappling for years with the country’s health care crisis and broken health care system. They won’t be susceptible to Luntz’s right-wing propaganda. Did you forget that one of the big mandates from November’s General Election was health care reform? And my own personal experience with our broken and woefully inadequate health care system is that health care and long term care for the elderly is already horrendous unless one is wealthy, and that care of the terminally ill *is* best performed by people trained under a Hospice philosophy, in either a Hospice run facility or *at the patient’s own home.* The last place you want a terminally ill loved one is at a regular hospital or nursing home. I also live in a state where the “poor and rural folks” have always been left out of the health care system as it is! Who are you people kidding?
A guy calls his doctor for an appointment. The receptionist says I can get you in in 18 months from today. Is that a morning or afternoon appointment, the guy asks.
The receptionist asks him what difference it makes.
The guy says;”I have a dental appointment that day.”
We need the Democrats (re federal government)screwing around with our health care.
Anyone who has any experience with the current for-profit, privatized U.S. health care system know what kind of horrible state it is already in. You’re worried about appointments? Well, in the entire 2 months my FIL was in the big city hospital with a terminal condition we personally saw and spoke to the DOCTOR ONCE, and that was after it became apparent to all that my FIL was failing with no recourse. My bedridden MIL died with a cast on her arm that no doctor would agree to remove because it just wasn’t profitable at that point for them to take the time to travel to her bedside and remove it. THAT’S our wonderful, privatized, for-profit health care system! I gladly welcome what Obama and the Democrats are proposing, because it just can’t get any more inhumane or disorganized that what the private sector currently peddles.
Just curious, anyone know the difficulties people are having in MA trying to gain access to a primary care doc?
Anyone know that 25% (YES 1 IN 4) Canadians have no access to a primary care doc?
Anyone care to guess what MA and Canada have in common?
Leftists are such useful idiots.
Yes, the terrible, terrible NHS, which costs about a third of the US system and gives us a lower infant mortality rate and a longer life expectancy. You’re talking nonsense and cherry picking a few headlines won’t cover for it.
My Canadian relatives have no issues with their health care system, and we specifically asked them about it. I am not convinced that anyone who opposes Obama’s proposed health care reforms has any real life experience dealing with the pathetic health care system we currently have. My husband and I learned first hand how terrible it is when 3 of our loved ones became terminally ill over a span of 4 years. Navigating our current for-profit system was the most traumatic, frustrating and dehumanizing experience we’ve ever been through.
Viewer if people die because they need to wait 5 months for life-saving procedures due ot socialized healthcare than obama and his drones have to share the blame
