4. They pretend what they call "Obamacare" will be mandatory.

They frighten people into assuming they'll have to give up their private plan or Medicare and switch to a government policy. The Affordable Care Act is only for those with no health care plan. Nothing, and anything is better than that.

If you listen to their arguments, they always speak of how they don't want to be on government health care because blah blah blah, and it's not as good as what they already pay for blah blah. No it isn't dumbass, it's a safety net for the working class.

Limbaugh has a list of fictional Canadians who deride their "socialized medicine". He hints that they long for our system. This doesn't hold water because there is such a thing as "Blue Cross / Blue Shield of Canada". If Canadians want "our system" all they have to do is make a phone call and the insurance giant will be glad to take their money.
