He wants to oversimplify the subject to make it easier to argue against reform because he is dishonest, he's not interested in truth he's interested in "winning". He wants to pretend that it is only about the uninsured while ignoring unsustainable cost increases that if left unchecked will eventually leave most of us uninsured. He wants to ignore the fact that the ranks of the uninsured are growing every day. He wants to ignore the fact that the majority of bankruptcies are because of medical debt and the majority of those bankruptcies are filed by people that HAVE INSURANCE, in other words their insurance is worthless they pay mega corporations for nothing only so that they can end up going bankrupt anyway after needlessly paying premiums for years or decades and that's okay with 03V. He wants to ignore the fact that Americans are charged more for prescription drugs then their counterparts elsewhere. Why this is okay with him I don't know because I'm sure he would not remain silent and accept the status quo if he was arbitrarily charged more for his groceries than everyone else in the same line yet he defends this behavior when big pharma does it to the American people. He confuses his fantasies about "government run health care" "losing what he has" "death panels" and "socialism" with what is actually being proposed because he gets a rush from having his fear button pressed by his handlers and that is certainly more important to him than is the well being of his countrymen. The bottom line is that he is insulated from reality by his government provided health care that the tax payers buy for him, he is selfish and doesn't give a flying turd about anyone who isn't him because his ideology is far more important than the health of his neighbor. In short he is a typical Republican; "I got mine fuck you". 03V is doing his best to help make the U.S.A. #1 (except of course for life expectancy, infant mortality, early cancer detection, etc., etc., etc.) because it is okay not to be #1 when doing what it takes to actually be #1 might conflict with your bullshit ideology.
