The same people who gave us Death Panels.

Scary healthcare stories go way back. I remember hearing about managed and socilaized healthcare back in the early 80s. It really got rolling with Hillary Care in the early 90s. I think the insurance companies and their politicians tried to portray all of it as standing in line outside run-down and dirty clinics with Doctors that were the worst ever treating you.

Possibly they were watching all the European countries and Canada go with it and they knew it wouldn’t be long before Americans wanted it too so start the scare tactics and build on them before the debates.
