In reply to Welcome USA To Socialism Healthcare Bill Passed, posted by Phillipa on June 28, 2012, at 12:37:06
The insurance law, not that this will change your mind, was modelled after Massachusetts, which was modelled after one of the most conservative think tanks in the country, the Heritage Foundation.
Either the Heritage Foundation is a secret socialist think tank that just happens to be conservative on every other initiative, or your partisan thinking is distorting the facts.
Also, a socialist government is state-run. Thie insurance law mandates coverage to private health insurance companies.
Either your partisanship is distorting your ability to make arguments, or you don't know what the term socialism means. I have difficulty with believing you don't know what socialism means.
You're entitled to not like the idea, but let's not use terms that make one sound ignorant. Something is either state run or not. Insurance companies are not state run.
