Health Care Reform
It appears that today might be the end of a very long road to health care reform. There's been a lot of debate on the subject really leading back before the election. The mainstream sounds like an echo chamber, so I'm hoping you guys have better insight. Will this bill do what the administration claims to do, or is it as bad for the future of America as Fox says?
We have nothing to fear but Fox itself.

If the health care reform plan goes through then it signals the end of civilization as you know. Just look at where I am from, Canada, where we introduced universal health care in 1962. Since then, we've been living in barbaric fiefdoms, the likes of which have not been seen outside of the Hyborian kingdom.

obligatory welfare joke:
A guy walks into the local welfare office, marches straight up to the counter and says, "Hi . . . You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job".
The social worker behind the counter says, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur/bodyguard for his nymphomaniac daughter. You'll have to drive
around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll be expected to escort her on her overseas holiday trips. You'll have a two-bedroom apartment above the garage. The starting salary is $200,000 a year".
The guy says, "You're bullshitting me!"
The social worker says, "Yeah, well, you started it."
Brain-washing and indoctrination.
Listen. Just because the person you meet and discuss intimate details with at the "doctor's" office is wearing a lab coat and a stethescope, it doesn't mean he or she is a doctor. They are actually just civil servants who have hidden microphones and very discrete ear pieces, that allows what you're telling them to be heard by a 13-person death-panel, who will then instruct the "doctor" what to do.
The death-panel consists of:
This is how socialized "medicine" works. The only medicine involved with it, is making sure your body is sold off in parts to raise money for the party leaders! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES! Actually, those aren't roses but the perfumes used to cover up the stench of rotting corpses in the streets.

I think the issue the OP has with Fox has nothing to do with the Healthcare bill. A position that I also support.
maybe not nothing, if Fox raises your blood-pressure that much you might have a personal interest in health care provision.
