Government Healthcare: BOOOOOO
By Ike
There is a local gentleman, whom I know very well, who is totally ticked off, and is now organizing people to rally against “socialized health care.”
Do you know the punch line to this? C’mon, you know where I am going, right?
He has both Medicare and Medicaid.
Right, BOTH are government health insurance programs. Socialized medicine.
We are swimming in a tidal wave of hypocrisy.
Somehow HIS government funded health insurance is WAAAAAAYYYYYY different from anybody else’s government funded health insurance.
Maybe this isn’t hypocrisy, maybe this is just ignorance. Nah, it’s hypocrisy.
Whatever it is, it is not exceptional, it appears to be the rule.
The first entry in the conservative playbook is: “Paint all things ‘government’ as bad.”
“We want the government OUT of all aspects of our lives (except when we need them to outlaw gays and abortion).”
Of course to conservatives there is bad, and there is BAD, and there is BAAAAADDDDD.
- Government waste is ‘bad.’
- Any congressman or senator who is a Democrat is ‘BAD.”
- Government healthcare is ‘BAAAAADDDDD.’
…but don’t you DARE touch my Medicare or Medicaid.
