On the local NPR call-in show this morning, I heard a R pol try to make the case

[Skidmore]

that the "middle class" is worried about the cost of healthcare reform. Beyond being a talking point, does anyone know if there are stats to back that up? It would seem to me that the wealthy class is more worried about reform. If something doesn't change, there will only be 2 classes--those with money and the poor. Then it will be too late.

1. Dont worry

Soon the supreme court will rule to allow corporations to contribute whatever they want to election efforts and we'll all be serfs.

2. just a day or two of the Iraq occupation will be plenty to cover the cost...

...of fully funded single payer universal health care for all Americans. Finding the practical means to provide every American with health care is EASY. Finding the political will to serve the people rather than the greedy corporations is another matter entirely.

3. Rs have no clue

They have no idea what the middle class worry about. Just like Rush wonders what all the fuss is about, why don't people just pay for treatment out of their pocket.

4. they're just trying to imply that the booing few at town halls are a legitimate polity

and they certainly are not.
