THE GOP´s EFFORTS AGAINST HEALTH CARE REFORM IS MORE DESPARATE THAN IT APPEARS

A successful vote on the health care reform plan could  bring an end to the Republican Party.

A successful Congressional vote on the health care reform plan could theoretically bring an end to the Republican Party.

…Passing the Democrat´s health care reform could be a rebirth of a new, FDR type “NEW DEAL”

If you think that the Republican´s current push against the health care reform bill is only their fight for keeping all Americans from getting access to health care, you are seriously delusional.

Yes, the conservatives and the Republicans will say the plan goes too far and costs too much, even though it would actually lower our current health care costs. But the passage of the Democrat´s health care reform has many implications for the GOP beyond medical coverage for all.

You will notice for instance how the right-wing “talking heads” keep saying that a “public option” or a “single-payer health care plan” would be a move for America into pure “Socialized Medicine”.

First, the statement is totally incorrect. “Socialized Medicine” is when the hospitals and the doctors are all owned and managed by the government and all the employees work for the government. Yes, we do have socialistic medicine in America today and it is called the Veteran´s Administration (VA). The VA´s hospitals and the doctors are all part of the US government.

However, the “public option” within the current plan is not “Socialized Medicine”. The “public option” would still allow the participants to see their private doctors at private hospitals, just like Medicare, but the payment of the premiums and the payment of the medical bills would be to and from a government agency. And that´s all it is! If the plan is approved, it could be called “Socialized Insurance”, but not “Socialized Medicine”.
