Really makes you want to slap Obama, Pelosi and Reid:


Greece was told that if it wanted a bailout, it needed to consider privatizing its government health care system. So tell us again why the U.S. is following Europe's welfare state model.

The requirement, part of a deal arranged by the IMF, the European Union and the European Central bank, is a tacit admission that national health care programs are unsustainable. Along with transportation and energy, the bailout group, according to the New York Times, wants the Greek government to remove "the state from the marketplace in crucial sectors."

Just wish the IMF would tell my British government to privatize healthcare too!

On another note, does this mean those evil!, racist! fearmongering! teabaggers! were right?

Oh our healthcare is privatized alright. Ours is privatized so much that we are forced to buy health insurance from private companies.
