Health care

From an article, but there's no need to cite it because it's the same right-wing bullshit you can find everywhere:

"Even in countries like Canada and the U.K., there is no intrinsic right to health care. Rather, citizens in these countries are told by government bureaucrats what health-care treatments they are eligible to receive and when they can receive them. All countries with socialized medicine ration health care by forcing their citizens to wait in lines to receive scarce treatments.
Although Canada has a population smaller than California, 830,000 Canadians are currently waiting to be admitted to a hospital or to get treatment, according to a report last month in Investor’s Business Daily. In England, the waiting list is 1.8 million."
First off,  That actually is socialized medicine, and not what congress and this administration are trying to do.  But people are being to fuck-tarded to hear that message, so I'll move on.

The problem with the argument above is that it's basically saying, "So long as we fuck the poor, us rich folk will get an express pass to the hospital.  It's easier to get in if you move the poor people out of the way."

I'm getting really fed up with that line of thought.
