War Handwavium

The GOP over here quotes Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton of supporting the idea of a government funded, single payer, health insurance system. And the Republican vice presidential candidate of 2008, Sarah Palin, just came out and said that Obama’s single payer health reform plan is “downright evil”, garsh darnit.

Apparently, the GOP thinks a government funded, single-payer, health insurance system is a very bad idea.

If a government funded, single payer system is so bad that the GOP has been doing everything in its power to stop Obama’s health care reform, why stop there? Why not get rid of the existing government funded, single payer, health insurance system?

Medicare is government funded, single-payer health insurance. It’s been around since 1965. In 2007, Medicare provided health care coverage for 43 million Americans. 43 million Americans that were covered by government funded, single payer, health coverage.

Come on, all you Republican politicians! Stand by your principles! If you think government funded, single-payer, health coverage is evil incarnate, then you should start a campaign to end Medicare. And let your constituents know where you stand, especially those over 65 years old.

Tell them you want to stop Obama’s health care reform and after that you want to end Medicare.

What we have here is the Domino Theory of GOP principles. And the American response to the Domino Theory is “containment”. What we need here is to “contain” the GOP principles against government funded, single-payer health care. If the domino of Obama’s health care reform bill falls, the next domino after that will be Medicare. Don’t let the GOP knock your dominoes down. Don’t let the GOP take your Medicare away!

Support Government Funded, Single Payer, health coverage. Protect the elderly from the right wing attempts to kill Medicare. Support Obama’s health care reform.
