And of course, nobody can imagine what "rationing" would be like, since we don't have anything like "rationing" now. Just the World's Best Health Care System, available to anyone willing and able to pay for it. And no government bureaucrat can come between you and your doctor either- nope, just an insurance company employee there to explain why your thousands of dollars in premium payments over the years do NOT mean that you are covered for this particular medication or that particular procedure. But not to worry- you can still GET the medication and surgery you need. All you have to do is come up with the money. No government bureaucrat will EVER stand in the way of the free market to provide you with the very best!
Who could ask for anything more?
There's a clip of one of these rally's where one of these teabaggers asked who was afraid of Government run health system and the entire room had their hands raised, then Rep. Gene Green asks who here who has Medicare and the same hands went up. (4:30)
