Just like I said on the Sicko thread, Guiliani uses all the talking points that he knows the Koolade-consuming Conservative automatons will instinctively react to:

Charging that Democrats' health care proposals would lead to "socialized medicine," Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani said Tuesday he wants to give American citizens more control over their health care.

"We've got to do it the American way," Giuliani said during a town hall forum in Rochester, New Hampshire. "The American way is not single-payer, government-controlled anything. That's a European way of doing something; that's frankly a socialist way of doing something."
>>>>>>>>>>>

Maybe that's why Europeans live longer!

"That's why when you hear Democrats in particular talk about single-mandated health care, universal health care, what they're talking about is socialized medicine."

Giuliani's health care plan, unveiled at the forum, includes giving taxpayers tax credits to purchase private health insurance. The highlight of Giuliani's plan: a $15,000 tax deduction for each family to buy private health insurance.

According to Giuliani, money left over from one year could be used the following year to cover health care costs. He says his program for private insurance would replace coverage from employers.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What about all the people who can't afford health insurance, or who are denied coverage by insurance companies?

In other words, what about the people who most need healthcare??



Giuliani, the Republican party's presidential frontrunner in national polls, also said that "government cannot take care of you. You've got to take care of yourself."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I guess that's easy to say when you're a multi-millionaire like Rudy!
