We need to launch an amnesty type phone line meltdown when this is debated in Congress. This is actually an issue where plenty of democrats will be on our side since they are aware of the disaster in Canada and Britain and unlike taxes (which only 50% pay) this impacts every single person. Here is the approach I use when discussing this: everyone wants the lowest price, best quality and best service for every product / service we buy and it is impossible to have all three. In health care which of those are you willing to give up and any rational person will say “price”. I then say if you make it universal that will increase demand with the supply of care being static then both service and quality will go down and if you cap doctor's incomes then quality goes down further. Then I top it off with when was the last time you had to go in for any specialist appointment or even an MRI ? In Canada it would take you 5 times as long and in Britain they may deny it because your life is not worth saving. Unless they are an unhinged Obamabot this at least gets them thinking internally and the wheels are set in motion.
“DHS certified domestic threat.”
Is there a t-shirt for that?
