A couple of weeks ago Senator Orrin Hatch said that the Obama health plan would lead to socialism.
Tell us how that will happen, Senator, step bgy step Betcha can't. "Socialism" and "communism"- God help us! You know that just by saying the "s" word people will take you seriously. This "S" word objection to the "O" health plan seems to set the unthinking masses off in a red-faced vein busting panic.
Think! We already have Medicare and Medicaid and the VA which are "socialistic". And they work pretty well. Surely we are doomed already??
Furthermore, our highways, libraries, military, Judicial systems are "socialistic". We all pay into them and share the fuits.
Here is a rational objection to the Obama health plan: He says it won't cost most of us anything becasue he will cut waste in the Medicare/Medicaid and use the $ to pay for covering 30-45 million new patients. Doubtful. There may well be that much waste in the system, but finding it, stopping it and collecting the money will be difficult and unlikely.
