Cornyn: Dem Plans Would Create 'Health Care Gulag'

But god forbid we cut any funding from the "health care gulag" of Medicare, right?

The Republican party should hire some of the teabagger trolls from this site to do public relations; at least they can just keep repeating the same "facts" without contradicting themselves.

The Republican argument is always the same. Fear and smear. Cornyn opted for fear on this one. The tactic is predictable, tiresome, and usually poisons a meaningful debate on a particular issue. I guess it must be effective, too, or they wouldn't keep using it.

Cornyn should go suck his pastor's foot corns.

Gulag, Senator? My, my, such semantically charged rhetoric. The health insurance companies are certainly getting value from you and the public relations firms they pay to develop their propaganda - I'm sorry - I mean, your key messages. But two can play that game, Senator. Tell me what you plan to do about the health care GHETTOS created by the private health insurance fascists? The ones that ration and deny care based on people's impact on profits? The ones that raise premiums at five times the rate of inflation. The ones who have driven competition from the market through hundreds of mergers, acquisitions, and hostile takeovers? The ones, like Aetna, who assuage Wall Street with guarantees that they will further increase profits next year by raising premiums on the least profitable risk pools so high that 600,000 customers will have to drop their policies? Tell me, Senator, what would you do about that?

GULAG: "was the government agency that administered the penal labor camps of the Soviet Union. The term is infamous for its association with remote places where prisoners were kept and sometimes disappeared. The camps housed all types of criminals, but are well known as mechanisms for repressing political opposition and for holding political prisoners"

cornyn, crack is whack. you had plenty of it to come up with this.

When are the Democrats going to end this Senate buffoonery?

The Republicans are funnier than a hospital full of terminally infected EBOLA victims!

Cornyn, being from Texas, knows about gulags. But isn't it amusing to think that he believes the U.S. government is competent to wage a war as an invader in a country that has never really lost to an invader yet is not competent to run a public option here at home. We know he doesn't believe what he says and that it is a lie to cover that he wants insurance companies to profit from misery in America.
