I need to stop. I find myself on newspaper websites debating health care with the wingers trying to scare people with words like "socialism" and "government take-over."
I usually fight with facts - infant mortality, life expectancy, costs, etc. That works to some extent - that is they don't have numbers that favor them so they change the topic.
Now they have discovered a Health and Human Services report claiming our real problem is litigation and we need to stop the lawyers.
I've read that litigation is but a small percent of the problem. But this report claims it is the problem.
I've never seen this report before. It is from 2003 so I suspect it is something the Bush administration had done.
This might be an inappropriate use of diaries, but does anyone know anything about this report? How does one counter this report?
