Why are neo-cons so worked up about the health care issue? My own brother has told me "I have my head up my ass" because of something to do with the issue. And I haven't even expressed a position yet. I doubt that they are concerned about what is good for most of us or about health care. They know that if democrats or liberals produce a health care plan that covers the 40 million not now covered and the program works, their (neo-cons) ideology will have suffered a major defeat similiar to that of the passage of Social Security. Democrats have produced Social Security and Medicare and if they add to that list of achievements the creation of a health care for all program, republicans-their ideology a bankrupt sham-will be cast into the political wilderness for a generation or more. Neo-cons know that they must defeat the democrats on this issue or they will find it exceedingly difficult to get back into power on the national level. The republicans are pulling out all the stops and sinking to even lower levels of deception and falsehood not seen since the days of McCarthy. They were successful in 1993 against the Clinton health care effort. Can they do it again?
