Don’t you love all the Boehner-McConnell-Gingrich threats to repeal Obamacare? It is the conscious duty of the Republican statists to make their voters accept Democratic statism, and vice versa. Mitt Romney’s medical scheme in Massachusetts is as bad as Obamacare, but almost no Republican cares about it. After all, Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II all massively expanded government subsidization and control of medical care. Republicans just want the jobs, the subsidies, and the payoffs. Socialized medicine: it’s as Republican as apple pie.
