The REAL reason the GOPigs are fightng so dammed hard to stop any health care change...
.. the PUBLIC Option being the most dangerous thing they face.


Once, we get it, once people see it works, once the lies of "Canadian Health Care" will be exposed.


What will happen if some 'thuggy Congress and or President TRIES TO TAKE IT AWAY?

1. in countries that have instituted national healthcare....
the political party that brings it to fruition is generally in power for quite awhile after.

2. Not only that but the Big Healthcare Industry leaders will
have to actually compete for customers. They would have to remove preexisting conditions as a reason for denial of service. In fact the Insurance companies would have to cover anyone that wanted their plans.

3. It would then be as difficult to take away as Medicare or privatizing social security.

4. Bill Kristol warned that if Democrats ever passed Healthcare the
Gop would be in the wilderness forever. He warned in the 90s
and Today, he issued the command to Republicans--Kill it.
