Reply To: Political Statements
That trailer is full of misinformation. The public health option is going to remove patient’s ability to make their own decisions about their health care? The only people who will be able to use the public option are people who couldn’t otherwise afford any health care at all, so what decisions are being taken away from them? That one guy’s worried about becoming a slave and subservient to the government? What kind of paranoid delusion is that? He’s going to stand up for his rights? What rights of his are being taken away? The right to not have health care if you’re poor?
I understand that turbulent economic times makes people uneasy, so they feel like they need to regain some control over their lives. But this is all so misplaced and ludicrous. If they wanted to get upset about the government infringing on their rights, they should have marched on D.C. when they were being wiretapped, not when more of their fellow citizens are being given access to affordable health care. Ugh.
