In my discussions with those who supported the health-care reform bill, I often evoked the notion of health-care being the cornerstone of socialism. Of course, this is always dismissed as an unfair characterization of their views. They never seem to want to admit that the basis of their belief system is in fact socialism. So, they devise euphemistic terms such as "liberal", and "progressive", in an attempt to conceal the obvious. Also, in an effort to deflect criticism, they will often attempt to paint those who disagree as having irrational fears of said proposals. This is precisely the tactic used against Republicans by President Obama in order to silence criticism. Now comes support from Fidel Castro for Obamacare.
Revealing a gross ignorance of the intended purpose of one of America's founding documents, the island dictator stated:
"It is really incredible that 234 years after the Declaration of Independence ... the government of that country has approved medical attention for the majority of its citizens, something that Cuba was able to do half a century ago,"
Perhaps this really is a "Bolshevik Plot." Story here.
