Hannity is an outright liar. I know you know that but I had to say it because

[YewNork]

I watched a taping of him and Phil Donohue debating health reform. Hannity made the statement that
people in Canada cannot choose their own doctor. I lived there for twelve years and I was never
told which doctor to use by anyone. If I needed to see a specialist, my general practitioner would
recommend several that he knew, but I was under no obligation to choose any of them. The choice
was mine.

1. They rely on people not fact checking them, as well as

liberals being too nice to just flat-out call them liars.

2. the bigger problem is...

did Phil Donahue know enough to correct him? If Donahue didn't correct him then a whole lot of fearful people will simply take Hannity at his word and once they believe something it is a whole lot harder to make them realize that their beliefs/fears are unfounded.

3. Yeah Phil did reply back that they do get to choose, and Hannity said again, no they don't

Then the topic moved on to another statement.

4. That's ludicrous

Since EVERYONE is covered, and ALL doctors participate in the program, there is no reason to disallow doctor choice! The only time that happens is with systems like OURS where doctors and insurance companies pick and choose and team up against patients to maximize profits. UNIVERSAL means NO EXCLUSIONS.

Hannity thinks everyone is stupid.

5. Gee. It must really be nice to have a doctor. n/t
