re: #142 Charles

LaRouche supports single-payer health care. That’s a hard-left position. The Obama = Hitler posters are all from LaRouche. Maybe the opportunistic LaRouche is aligning himself with the hard-right at the moment, but wait fifteen minutes— that’ll change too!

Now, LaRouche and his followers are insane, and I don’t condone bad behavior in questioning an elected official, but I think the fear out there is genuine. Whose fault is that? What is the “Obama” plan? With the waffling going on what the plan is, it’s clear there’s a shell game going on here.

There is a conservative alternative that would save Medicare and Medicaid without nationalizing the system. It would increase choice and competition in the health care marketplace. Increasing competition will reduce costs. Obama has co-opted that rhetoric, but I think it’s too late to save his “plan” in the court of public opinion.
