I don't think that the proposed healthcare reform is the best solution, far from it. I do not, however, believe that the goal is ONLY a government ran program. These conspiracy theories take the focus away from where it needs to be, providing affordable healthcare to everyone. |
Man, believe me, I wish I could believe that. I really do. But I don't. Probably in the same way you're convinced they have the country's interest at heart, I am convinced it's all a con-job. Now that doesn't mean that some individuals don't genuinely believe that a govt. option is a good thing, but what seems to be happening is they read the details and almost have a heart attack. Are you watching the elections that are going on as we speak? The poll numbers for Obamacare? People are freaking OUT man.
It's not a conspiracy theory when you know the track record of people. You spend enough time studying these people, like I do, the good and the bad points.. and you just know what their next step is going to be.
But hey, if you want to marginalize my argument, and say I'm a kooky conspiracy buff, go right ahead. A lot of the tories in the revolutionary times thought the founding fathers were kooky conspiracy theorists, and their fears about the British Empire were just loony-tunes. I guess you can judge for yourself who was right and wrong.
