Public Healthcare: Good Enough For Cheney, But Not Good Enough For Americans |
Can you say GOP hypocrisy? I knew you could
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/12/10/cheney-health-ad/
In Iowa today, 10 newspapers are running a full page ad advocating for
a single-payer health-care bill, highlighting the fact Vice President
***** Cheney has benefited from his government-provided coverage. “If
he were anyone else, he’d probably be dead by now,” the ad claims.
Cheney, as the ad notes, has a long history of health problems:
The patient’s history and prognosis were grim: four heart attacks,
quadruple bypass surgery, angioplasty, an implanted defibrillator and
now an emergency procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat
The ad, which is sponsored by the California Nurses Association and
the National Nurses Organizing Committee, argues that without his
government-provided health care, Cheney’s recent heart problems would
have been “a death sentence“:

I hope you're right, but I'm not so sure. In recent elections I have seen
voters repeatedly vote against their own self interest. I just takes a good
advocacy ad campaign.
People in Florida voted to limit medical malpractice lawsuits to
$500,000.00. The promise of lower insurance rates for doctors didn't happen.
The insurance industry which made the promise came back with, "The rates
didn't go up as much as they would have without the legislation". A doctor
can now kill your child or family member for 1/2 million.
Voters in Florida also voted to restrict voter ballot initiatives. Why
would anyone want to limit their access to the political process?
The Idiot W's 690 billion in tax cuts invited the privileged to a banquet
and the middle and lower income citizens were invited to grovel under the
banquet table for crumbs.
The right ad campaign or "values voter" style manipulation and people will
vote against their own well being in a heartbeat. Tie something to Hillary
or "the liberal left" and you immediately have a huge group of lemmings
ready to cut off their own noses.
But, I hope you are right on this one.
