A Little Straight Talk On Health Care
| September 19th, 2008
John McCain wants to give you a little straight talk, my friends. You see, those Democrats keep wanting to socialize medicine, which is bad, because “socialize” sounds like “socialism” which is sorta like “communisim” which is almost as bad as Islamofascism. And so we can’t do that, my friends. No, what we need to do is rely on the free market, which works super-well. And if we do that, we can have the kind of success that we’ve had in the banking industry.
Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.
Yeah, just like banking — the only industry in America that’s arguably in worse shape than health care. Awesome-tastic, Maverick!
Needless to say, I support McCain here. Because if we run health care like banking, then in a decade or so, the industry will completely melt down, forcing the federal government to nationalize it, leading to national health care at last. It’s so crazy it just might work! And in the meantime, it would be awesome, because we’d be free of bureaucrats and high fees in the health care industry — just like we are right now.

Yeah, well, you can’t make an omelette without killing some poor people. Any Republican will tell you that.
