It's impossible to try to follow any logic on the right regarding the health care reform debate. There simply isn't any logic to be had.
Let's see...
If you are over 65 and retired, you are on a government-sponsored health care program called Medicare. If you are under 65 and you lose your job, having the option of purchasing health care insurance through a government program is socialism and the President is a Nazi -- if you're a conservative.
If you're on Medicare you currently don't get reimbursed for discussions with your doctor regarding living wills, but you would like to be reimbursed for it. If you're not on Medicare you call discussions with your doctor regarding living wills "government control" and claim that it's euthanasia -- if you're a conservative.
If you're a conservative you will take the word of a loudmouth college drop-out or a former governor who refused to finish her one and only term over those of the President, the AARP, the AMA and the Nurses' Association.
If you're a conservative you call a proposed panel of doctors and specialists a "death panel" and claim they're out to kill disabled babies, yet everyone knows all insurance companies have panels whose main purpose is to determine how not to pay claims.
If you're a conservative and you have health care coverage you're fine with it, and are not in the least bit bothered that someone who is out of work can't afford to go see the doctor.
Well, all I can say is, thank goodness I'm a liberal.
