The undeserving sick and socialized health insurance

You want the government deciding you don't deserve proper medical attention?

What, because that million it would cost could be better spent in a tax cut disguised as a program to straighten teeth on a thousand kids (the kids are already getting their teeth fixed)?

Medicare for all means the government has a monopoly on the health insurance business and will absolutely start making calls like that.

Already there are plenty of people whining that money spent on health care for the old, livers for ex-alcoholics, hearts and lungs for ex-smokers and the like is money spent on the undeserving sick.

Whines that fold in wonderfully with the agenda of Republicans as tax cutters and saboteurs of government, providing softening up propaganda for efforts to cut costs by cutting coverage.

Recall how much they, led by such heroes of ordinary people as the Bozo in the White House and Paul Ryan, bellyached about Obamacare's coverage requirements for policies to be sold through the exchanges or qualify for subsidies.

And that they already have insured no government program will pay for an abortion, and have tried their best to cut out coverage even for birth control, all allegedly in deference to the moral sensitivities of Evangelicals and Catholic nuns.

It's a lot easier to resist such pressures when public health insurance programs aren't providing coverage for most Americans, let alone all of them.

Create a socialist monopoly in health insurance and just watch how fast secularist Democrats will join the Christian clericalists of the GOP in deciding the devil can take the old, the weak, the most vulnerable, the most beset and needy, along with all those slutty women baby-killers.

And they will all the while dress up the whole sorry, greedy business as an heroic effort to preserve scarce resources for the young and the deserving, for the children, for God's sake.

Oh, the moral ago of the New York Times.

These are liberals talking like this, people.
