Can you tell me a believable enough lie about the conservative opposition to health care reform?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) August 17th, 2009

Conservatives have promoted plenty of lies about health care reform. The so-called “Death Panels” perhaps being the most egregious of them. Apparently Republicans are against knowing what their parents want in their final days and hours of life. They must hate their parents.

Well, two can play this game. The conspiracy game. What conspiracy can you think of to accuse conservatives of concerning their opposition to health care in the United States?

It has to be something that is at least half believable. Maybe that the Republicans want to eliminate the mandate that providers care for anyone who comes through their doors. They want to let people die if they can’t pay (which, unfortunately, is true). Only there would have to be some catchy way of saying that.

It should be something based on public statements of conservative political leaders. Or perhaps something written in a proposed law. Something that would allow us (progressives) to pin the term “party of death” on conservatives (if not Republicans).
