This is what I don’t understand. Obama has proposed a health care plan that is a continuation of the existing system with minor modifications. It seems that there is so little to argue about that the opposition has to incite their supporters by reframing things like end-of-life counseling to fiction like killing older citizens. They’re really afraid of single-payer health care. Why not take the fight to them and propose real health care reform; a single-payer system? Let them argue the point instead of their made-up boogie men. I think there is much stronger support in this country for real change in the form of a single-payer system than for expanding the health insurance industry. Why can’t there be debate in this country about the issues without diverting public attention with fairy tale trolls?
i don’t think the average american (or anyone) can debate. they don’t argue and listen. they shout and pout.
remember the audience. there are some odd people about.
