Post Letter: Health care 'propaganda' is inaccurate, unwelcome
July 22, 2009I was disappointed to see insurance company propaganda printed as the political cartoon in Thursday, July 16th's paper. The myth of long waits in government-run health care is a complete farce invented by opponents of single-payer health care systems, namely profit-driven HMOs and other organizations, which deny or drop coverage to millions of Americans. These companies are afraid that socialized health care would actually work and people would be happy with it, leading to massive losses in their profits, so they invent these lies in hopes that their fear mongering will stifle social progress. Another lie propagated by opponents is that America has the best health care system in the world. This is painfully untrue as the United States is currently ranked 37th by the WHO, with France's socialized, government-run system as No. 1.
