GOP Still Misleading With Socialized Medicine Scare Tactics

The self-motivated politicizing of this life and death issue, the health of American people, has become IMMORAL.

I just heard Hatch on MSNBC…. Fixing a dysfunctional health system that is raping America and murdering Americans so everyone can have access to affordable care (not just rich Republicans) has become…the worst govt power grab in modern history…trillions of $'s the country can't afford…irresponsible.

Know what was irresponsible? The 2003 GOP Medicare Modernization Act, which Hatch supported. The biggest, costliest entitlement since Medicare was created. Rammed through Congress by GOP, NO FUNDING PROVISION…estimated taxpayer cost to-date – $1.2 trillion, with potential to add $17 trillion to Medicare unfunded liability over next 75 yrs….increased Medicare financial burden by 1/3..AND A BLANK CHECK GIFT FROM GOP TO BIG PHARMA & THE BIGGEST PUBLIC HEALTH FRAUD OF THIS CENTURY!!!! America is the only nation in the industrialized world who gave pharmaceutical companies carte blanche to charge whatever they want for drugs, then stopped Medicare using its clout to protect US citizens by negotiating affordable prices…thus protecting corporate profits & royally screwing the American people. Why, how could America do this? Because it's the way Republicans reform healthcare….by ripping off taxpayers with exhorbitant price-fixing & redirecting the spoils into windfall profits for their sponsors. Big Pharma has made $200 billion in new profit from the 2003 Republican bill

HATCH IS A FRAUD & A HYPOCRIT. They don't like Obamacare, because it benefits the American people. If you put the American people first, before Big Business, you're a socialist.

It's obvious that the GOP thinks the American people are pretty stupid. Why else would they use “Goebbel's Axiom” every time they talk about healthcare reform?
I think Anthony Wiener's time on the house floor today said it all.

The Dems' “big tent” philosophy allowed the issue to become what it is today. I predicted (I'll get challenged on this, too) it would come down to reconciliation, and it's almost there.

If healthcare reform dies, the American people will prove to the GOP they were right, all along. To their own detriment and peril.

I was for single-payer. That got dashed before it even left the gate. The Public Option is the most moderate of proposals, yet here we are, in the midst of lies, obfuscation and hypocrisy (and they call the Dems “extremist”).

For the life of me, I don’t understand why Democrats don’t get smart and start fighting fire with fire. They need to hire their own version of Dr. Frank Luntz.
