For Those of You Who Don’t Believe Print Media has a Socialist Progressive Bias …
Get your head out of the sand.
This is a particularly egregious example of how the New York Times is an Obama healthcare lapdog.
Why is socialized healthcare bad? It isn’t just about inconvenience or incompetence (ask anyone who has lived under socialized medicine about those). It’s about the fact that, if hte government pays for all your medical care, it then will assume (and assert) the right to tell you how to live “for your health” and to cut costs. What you eat and drink, your level of exercise, what job you have (risks?), what appliances you have at home, where you live, etc. are all areas that can be “explored” for their effects on your health (not to mention a plethora of other things). In short, there are reasons why many consider universal healthcare the mother of all government control mechanisms over the lives of its citizens. The one paying for something that touches every area of your life (your body goes wherever you do!) will assume the right to make all sorts of decisions for you.
