“The chairman of the Republican Party on Monday called President Barack Obama's plan to overhaul health care ‘socialism,’ accusing the president of conducting a risky experiment that will hurt the economy and force millions to drop their current coverage.”
It really bothers me that the headline of this article, “RNC chairman: Obama's health care is socialism” focuses on the label of socialism, rather than what one might find to actually be wrong with Obama’s approach to health care. The Republicans in this article seem to be ignoring health care for the poor and unemployed, but that’s a whole different rant. This is like the Red Scare all over again…people are focusing mainly on labels and pointing fingers, rather than the real issues at hand.
No government can be purely republican or democrat or socialist or whatever. The political spectrum is not a spectrum, but a graph with many dimensions. Politicians need to remember this.
