We've heard that the Clinton health reform effort of the 90s was blocked in large part to thwart the political gain the Democratic party would gain by it, it seems conservatives are banging a similar drum now. Michael Cannon quotes Marxist Norman Markowitz:
After the Labor Party established the National Health Service after World War II, supposedly conservative workers and low-income people under religious and other influences who tended to support the Conservatives were much more likely to vote for the Labor Party...
The best way to win over the the portion of the working class in the South or the West that supported McCain and the Republicans is to create important new public programs and improve the social safety net. National health care...will bring reluctant voters into the Obama coalition. That is how progress works.
Cannon: "I'm no student of British history, but that sounds about right...Republicans might want to take note."
Get it? Democratic health care reform is a danger to the Republican party...because it might work. Remember, for a lot of these folks, their own pet ideologies are more important than your health and well-being. |
