“[B]ecause an uninsured person who goes to the hospital is more likely to die than an insured person. I mean, that is a fact. So what do we do? We have to build a political consensus. and that requires people giving up a little bit of their own turf in order to create this common ground. The same with energy. You know, we can’t keep talking about our dependence on foreign oil and the need to deal with global warming and the challenge that it poses to our climate and to God’s creation and just let business as usual go on, and that means something has to be taken away from some people.”
Notice, please that the premise that she uses as regards health care, is arguably false;
“[B]ecause an uninsured person who goes to the hospital is more likely to die than an insured person. I mean, that is a fact.
While that may or may not be true, we are asked to make the assumption that they are dying more easily because they are uninsured. We never hear the question asked “is this higher death rate due to lack of insurance, or lack of smarts as regards other lifestyle choices? ”
It’s little clues like that that give lied to the overall position she takes.
Make no mistake, my friends; what she’s pushing here is socialism. There’s no other word for it, that is more accurate.
There are many who will not want to hear this. Then again, bats tend to prefer the dark.
