The Language of Healthcare - How the Right derailed reform

[KlavoHunter]

When looking back at the evolution in public opinion on healthcare, its helpful to know how it happened.

The Republican sponsored internal document produced by Frank Luntz titled The Language Of Healthcare reveals the strategies that have been so effective today.

Every American should be aware of this instructional guide that is responsible for derailing Health care Reform.

The Language Of Health Care is a remarkable exposure into the sophistication and psychological strategies employed by Republicans.

This blueprint to fool the public and stop health care reform is only a few months old and its strategies are being repeated daily.

Read The Language Of Healthcare and tell me how can we inform all of America with this evidence that clearly describes how to create fear and anger over healthcare.

In Conscience of a Liberal, Paul Krugman claims that research shows the Americans have even more delays and waits to see a doctor than other countries. There are some specifics, but in cases like hip surgeries, he claims its a quirk because most hip surgeries in the US are done by..... Medicare. A government mandated health insurance against the Canadians government health insurance.

That is a case of a false causal relationship. People who need hip surgeries are old, and happen to be on medicare. What you need to look at are things like arm breaks, how long it takes to detect cancers, and wait times between GP visits. These things would measure the systemic slowness of our medical system.

Its not that. People are claiming that if you switch to a government run healthcare system, old people aren't going to get hip replacements. Just look at Canada!
Ignoring the fact that in their own country, its the GOVERNMENT run healthcarey program that's giving them said hip replacements.
