I call "Bullshit!" on Dumbya's statements about Kerry's health plan...

[BiggJawn]

Gonna break with popular discussion here and talk about something that does not have a folding stock...

Yesterday, the Chimp-in-Chief told us that Kerry's plan would have "Government Bureaucrat " deciding your health care. HIS plan would let patients and doctors choose treatment plans.

Oh REALLY????

So George, you're gonna give us something we don't have right now? You're gonna reform the HMO industry?

As it stands now, I have insurance company "Bureaucrats" deciding my health care. I belong to an HMO, oh sure, they keep telling me "Don't call it an HMO, it's 'Managed Care'..." S'Yeah, right, it waddles and quacks...

Oh, sure, I can "pick" my own doctor...From a limited list of "Plan Providers", most of whom aren't accepting new patients. And their guidelines give them maybe 20 minutes to talk/diagnose/come up with a treatment plan for whatever ails me. 20 minutes.

Then there's the Drug Formulary...Some times, What my doctor prescribes, the insurance company won't pay for. So, i either go BACK to the doctor, or pay out-of-pocket....

See, George, you coke-addled, drunken frat boy, you and your friends might live in a world where you pick your own doctor, and a trip to see him is like going to Marcus Welby or Dr. Chegley, but that's not the way it goes for the rest of us.

Oh, by the way, if I should ever be lucky enough to retire from the workforce, that "McMedicine" I'm enjoying now can be mine for $600 a month out of pocket....

You suck, Dumbya.You LIE to the Sheeple, and they eat it up because Rush tells them too.

Okay, ths is kind of related to what you just said...and it's something I've been trying to figure out for a while now. Whenever I hear conservatives knock socialized health care they always say the government picks the doctor for you. I'm Canadian, and Canada, as I'm sure you're fully aware, has socialized health care (though our system is flawed, it isn't because it's socialized). I can freely go to any doctor I want. There is no "government appointed" doctor I have to go to. I don't know how many doctors are in my city, bu there are quite a few, and I can got o whichever one I want.

So what the hell are conservatives talking about? Am I totally misunderstanding their argument or is it just an incredibly stupid argument?
