If anyone threatened to end Medicare (health care for seniors and some disabled), there'd be rioting in the streets. But many opponents of reform are saying they're protecting Medicare-- that reform would jeopardize it-- in the same breath as saying they don't want a "government-run" health care program! (Ummmm, like Medicare??)

It's politics. You aren't the only ones who find it difficult to understand why people most likely to benefit from a policy are the ones screaming the most against it. Don't you think it ironic that the most conservative, anti-communist, anti-socialist
states in the USA have come to be known as the "red states"?

[Sangye]

That observation totally made me chuckle, Doug.

[Jack]

I didn't understand it.

[Sangye]

It means there's nothing worse than calling an anti-communist "red" and yet they proudly refer to themselves as the "red states."

[Jack]

I think the whole Reds Under the Beds thing faded out in the sixties here in Europe and most contries settled down into a comfortable shade of Pink! I guess that is still considered to be a bad thing in most of the US.
