Has anyone made a GOP healthcare talking points bingo card yet? They should! Here is even more of the GOP's memo'd talking points. Thank you, Bill Moyers!
"They want a Washington-centered plan. We support patient-centered reforms."
"They want a big Washington Experiment with our health. We want common-sense simple fixed that will yield real results."
"They want to start building a closed health care system where Washington decides how much money will be saved on health care by controlling the doctors you can see and limiting the treatments and cures your doctor can prescribe. The patient-centered health care movement supports an open health-care system where patients and doctors make those decisions."
"They want a top-down system where bureaucrats far away end up deciding what health care is worth paying for and what isn't and for whom. We want a bottom-up, patient-centered system where control remains with your doctor and with you."
"They want political and artificial cost-reductions from Washington. We want to get the politics out of health care not put more politics in it. We want common sense fixes not politically driven experiments."
"The want to empower a big Washington-run monopoly to control your health care. We say monopolies are just not natural. Big monopolies are bad no matter who runs them, whether its big government or big insurance businesses."
And so the GOP elephant does everything and anything to block reforms so the health insurance monopolies can continue to make outsized profits by denying care to American citizens.
