Well, that observation, actually a quote from a South Carolinian denying Medicare is a government program, as noted in Paul Krugman’s latest column, explains exactly why getting national healthcare is such tough sledding.
And, when you connect that with the fact senior citizens are MORE satisfied with Medicare than the under-65 crowd is with private insurance, it's no wonder getting people to understand national healthcare is so tough.
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.
