I have news for you. Most Americans -- even many people right here on FreeRepublic -- love socialized medicine. They may not be willing to admit it, and maybe they even truly believe that they hate socialized medicine. But a common thing in every single discussion I have had on this subject -- and in every political discussion I've read or seen on it -- is that most Americans want a health care system that has the following three characteristics:
1. It covers everyone.
2. It covers everything.
3. It doesn't cost them much money.
In other words, what most Americans want is something that doesn't exist ... which means it can only be implemented through the force of a government that has: (1) the authority to print money indefinitely, and (2) the power to kill its citizens when they need to be stripped of their delusions about what they want and what they're willing to pay for.
That is socialized medicine by definition.

You are day dreaming again. Nobody on FR wants single payer which is what the Dems and GOP corportists want.

Brilliant. Thanks for posting.
