Unfortunately, when many Americans think healthcare reform they think "socialist medicine." They think of "doctors on the government payroll." They think of their hospital transforming into the DMV. What people don't realize is that most of what healthcare reform consists of is health insurance reform.
Instead of letting Republicans badger the public about their sheepish "free market solutions," counter with the idea of "ending profit-driven health insurance."
Ask any doubters the rhetorical question, "Should insurance really be a profit-driven industry?" And then pause to let it sink in. I think most people can see why a profit-motive in insurance would be shady. Just like most people see that profit-driven greed in the finance and banking industry is what led to this latest economic downturn.
Insurance providing should be just as boring as banking. There should be no fancy tricks, no financial wizardry, and no crafty litigators to make banks or insurance companies rich. "Health insurance deniers" shouldn't become millionaires because they're great at rejecting claims.
