Universal Healthcare = "Breeding Ground for Terror"

Postby Rspaight » Fri Jul 06, 2007 1:09 pm

Fox News decides the incompetent UK terror "plots" are a great opportunity to counterprogram Michael Moore's new movie, and gets some talking head (with some spectacularly ridiculous hair) to pontificate on how universal care is "bureaucratic," which means that it's vulnerable to infiltration by nutty homicidal Muslims. This is in contrast to the American system, which is not at all bureaucratic and only uses white Christian Americans (especially in urban areas).

Then, MSNBC picks up the ball and runs with it:

So now terrorism is an "unintended consequence" of universal healthcare. Because, I guess, if you can't get rich off the sick and poor, then only grubby homicidal brown people are interested in becoming doctors, and you *know* we can't trust that riffraff.

And thus, criticizing the American healthcare system is equated to supporting the terrorists. QED.
