and to top it all off, did you know who the Obama Health Care Plan gets a lot of ideas from....ONE PERSON: Richard Nixon!
Richard Nixon called to introduce that a mandate to all business employers to purchase Health Insurance for all their Employees, and that any American could join this health system and the prices are based on a scale of their income........HOLY SHIT!!! wait, read that again....MANDATE ALL EMPLOYERS to PURCHASE health insurance to all their employees and any American could join based on a pricing scale of their income....
THIS WAS RICHARD NIXON!!!! a REPUBLICAN!!!!!! and this is very very close to what the Obama Administration is trying to do...It was a republican idea..
But do you ever hear any Republican talk about this??? no!!! Do any News Programs mention this....NO!!!! And actually Ted Kennedy back in 1974 rejected this plan, but later said he made a huge mistake because he realized that it was the right step to reform health care....
but no one acknowledges this.....its just crazy!!! i mean, it drives me nuts.
Yeah, I was reading about the Nixon healthcare stuff the other day. What scares me the most is that somehow this country has been dragged so far to the right that Nixon seems center. I've said it to my crazy teabagger mother many times- Obama is not left/liberal enough for the left, he is a centrist! These people have no freaking clue about anything, and yet somehow they're the ones whose voices get heard and magnified in the media. Grrrrr-argh!!!!!
