First, conservative blogs, digging through the trash of old Obama media interviews and other things, are claiming that national healthcare means government-sponsored euthanasia.
It does not. No more than Medicare has meant that for nearly 45 years. No more than private insurance which refuses to pay every medical expense of a senior citizen means private-sector sponsored euthanasia.
But, expect liars to continue to push this one.
On the Congress plan, we’ve had people who oppose national healthcare reform say, “why shouldn’t everybody get what Congress gets”? Well, as it turns out, Congressional health insurance is not a Cadillac plan.
Sure, Congress health plan may be better than many, but it’s not everything.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
