Subject: RE: BS: Nationalized Healthcare, good? bad?
The problem with that formulation is that those who oppose any changes whatever with the exception of making laws to give more money to the insurance companies (and such laws are currently being worked on in our Congress), are saying that they support health care reform and they say it's just a matter of working out the right plan, but those particular people really don't support any kind of health care reform at all, and they are just using the excuse that we have to wait for the right plan as a stalling tactic. They know if they can stall it long enough, they can effectively kill it entirely. If they succeed in doing that, they expect that they will be able to get a majority in the House and Senate in the next election in 2010 and use that majority to prevent the subject from being seriously considered in the future. They don't want change. They want the status quo only with more money for the insurance companies.
