Republican lies about health care

It gets more bizarre by the day. Now the Republicans are telling ugly lies to scare people:

Seniors and the disabled "will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care." -- Sarah Palin, Friday, August 7th, 2009.

There is no such language anywhere in any health care proposal. Republicans are making this stuff up. It is ugly, and the minds that create this crap, especially that of the narcissistic Sarah Palin, are ugly.

We need to make health care better in America. We need to expand insurance coverage to friends and neighbors who have lost their jobs, or can't get insurance because one of their parents had diabetes. We need to create a system that will take care of our children.

It is time Republicans stopped lying about the "public option," which is just another optional insurance program like Medicare, more "private" than V.A. hospitals. It is time Republicans stopped lying about "death panels." It is time Republicans stopped denying that it is immoral to let millions of Americans go without seeing a doctor when they are sick.

We have a problem with health care in America. It is time to find a solution.
