In speeches on the health care issue before the Senate on October 2nd. Republicans engaged in a favorite tactic: bashing Government -- but only when it suits their purpose.. Can Government do a better job than business? Often Yes! Who do you want fighting our wars: Our Military, or Blackwater? Who do you turn to when your child is kidnapped: The FBI or your local alarm company? Do you know who provides lawmakers and their families with their health coverage? Why, bless their hearts, it is that US Government run health care system that insures nine million present and former Federal employees, and every member of Congress. It is, in essence, the system that Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama,. John Edwards and others are recommending for the 47 million Americans that are uninsured, and for those not satisfied with their present coverage. If you like the plan you have, stay with it; if you don't, the Democrats are offering you an alternative. The Republicans and their cronies, backed by the health insurance industry, would deny you that choice. Why are the Republicans always on the wrong side of progress?
