Dude, I’m not arguing with you.

I was just pointing out that to my generation, “third rail” and “Social Security” are so tied together that the use of the phrase “third rail” would not easily be converted or stretched to mean nationalized health care.

However, the spirit of that meme is very much what needs to be placed in the minds of politicians. Make them afraid, very afraid for their jobs if they even think about nationalizing health care.

I guess maybe it should be called "the suicide belt of politics."

Kind of brings it up to date, and gets it aligned with the President's cultural preferences.

Well, Medicare which people are forced onto, is nationalized health care for people over 65.
