Once again, the GOP and insurance lobby are trying thwart real health reform.
They’re using the same old tactics to scare people from ANY sort of government run plan. These B.S. talking points are puked out daily in emails, on cable news shows, and strangely during reruns of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.
Here are just a few these health care "facts" they’ve been pushing lately...
- People in France have to wait 12 years just to make an appointment to buy aspirin.
- Health care is so rationed in Canada that only the Prime Minister and pitcher Roy Halladay of the Toronto Blue Jays receive medical treatment
- Health insurance is so rationed in Sweden that circumcision is never done. Most Swedish penises look like IKEA modular sofas
- Doctors in Europe don’t even see patients in person, and only "tweet" their diagnosis in Austrian subtitles.
- Physicians are so underpaid in England, that the only qualified English doctor is Hugh Laurie’s "HOUSE".
- Jesus is against government-run health insurance. He says so in the Bible, right after he talks about abortion and stem cell research.
- Socialized medicine is so bad in Germany that only government bureaucrats are allowed to breast feed your baby or use stethoscopes.
- If a public option government health plan is allowed in the US, most of Americas favorite TV shows will be cancelled
- If a public option government health plan is allowed in the US, most Americans will become pedophiles
- Government health insurance will force you to get a rectal probe every time you go to the doctor- no matter what the ailment.
Since the opposition is using their own "facts" . It time for us to use our own. So I’ve put together my own list. Feel free to email your conservative friends
