Many Americans say they "just don't understand" health care reform, and fear ObamaCare would lead to socialized medicine, rationed health care, and government-run health care. They're wrong.Contributor: Michael ThompsonPublished: Dec 28, 2009  

Editor's note: This story, originally appearing on August 20, 2009, is reprinted here as part of our Best Crosscuts of 2009 series. There is a lot of talk of “socialized medicine” in the current political debate about health care. Some politicians assert that the Obama Administration and the Congressional Democrats want to destroy the US health care system and replace it with something on the lines of the British National Health Service. I...

The only real chance of defeating the health care legislation came when the bill was lacking a majority of votes for passage in the House. A lot is being said and written about why national health care legislation is becoming a reality. The simple fact, available for all to see, is that the U.S. Catholic Bishops ensured passage of the bill in the House, enabling the Senate to move forward with its version.

Zomblog has written the real, very un-PC reasons for Why America Hates Universal Health Care,and why you should too. If the bill for your foolishness shows up in the form of higher taxes on me, then I unwillingly start to care what you do. And, trust me on this, you don’t want me turning my heartless judgmental eye on your foolish lifestyle. Because I’d have no qualms criticizing half the stuff you do.Do you want that? No. Do I want that? No...  

This is a story that I originally posted in a thread a while back and it was suggested to me to make my own thread. Sorry it took so long.... I was kinda busy ;) If this is in the wrong place or I have broken any rules, I apologize in advance. UPDATE: Jack is home now and getting better IN SPITE of the NHS, NOT BECAUSE of it. I really felt the need to share this... it is not just a story in a newspaper or word of mouth tale. We are real life...  

(Wes Vernon) - Almost any other presidency would by embarrassed by a report from within its own administration that exposes its number one legislative priority as an anti-family fraud. But not the Obama White House. Its response to a negative study of its Health "Care" bill resembles Al Gore's reaction to contradictions to the "sky-is-falling" hysteria over "man-made Global Warming": Ignore it and hope it goes away...  

So it's come down to this. Republicans and some Democrats wouldn't vote for a government-run health plan that competed with private insurers -- though it would enjoy no special taxpayer subsidies...  

There might be an argument for taking care of the old and the poor. That argument had been won by liberals over 40 years ago, when medicare and medicaid was passed into law by the "Great society" Johnson administration. I would have thought that that argument would also be lost, as both programs, especially medicare, are disasters.  Would you personally trust your money to the government to make important medical decisions for you? Would you...  

So it's come down to this. Republicans and some Democrats wouldn't vote for a government-run health plan that competed with private insurers -- though it would enjoy no special taxpayer subsidies. That's socialism. But as a compromise, they may agree to push aside the so-called public option and instead let people ages 55 to 64 buy into Medicare, which is both government-run and taxpayer-supported. That's not socialism. If you say so. This is...  

From a socialist doctor friend, of course. Gateway Pundit has the details:New Zeal reported this week on Barack Obama’s Marxist neighbor and doctor friend who taught him about the single-payer health care system.The push to socialize US Heathcare came, not from from the “people”, but from small clique of Marxists, led by a man with close persional ties to president Barack Obama.This group’s goal is fully socialized, government run “single...  

We found out today that the nurse-practitioner who has been looking after our two little ones has moved onto bigger and better things than serve young kids in the area. She is to be a nurse-practitioner for people at large in the city. Considering the pathetic scarcity of family doctors / GPs in the province, this means that to maintain non-emergency care, we must follow her to her new office, and sign up the kids for her new clientele...
