I should never, ever hear a progressive using the term "government RUN healthcare"
the proper term is government FUNDED healthcare. "Government run healthcare" confirms the belief that some washington beauracrat would be making medical decisions, yet I often see progressives using that phrase. Government funded healthcare is a much more accurate and less scary term for the average American to hear.

I mean, just because the government funded banks, financial houses, Chrysler and GM its not like they set pay limits of fired executives, or set limits advertising expenditures or installed political cronies or decided which retailers were allowed to remain in business or which crditors were paid-back or what sort of products they had to offer.
Why, that'd just be CRA-A-A-AZY!

2. I think government FUNDED healthcare is just as scary.nt
As do I but probably for different reasons.
Small thread. Methinks the reason is: the balance of DUmmies know better and are too ashamed to admit the truth.
