"We'd Like to Stop the Bleeding, But Your Insurance Doesn't Cover That"

Republican reactionaries continue to resist all of the president's progressive programs. They are outraged by Obama's efforts to join the civilized world by providing us with not-for-profit health care. Their slogan is: "Do you want government bureaucrats making medical decisions for you?" (This is based on an outrageous lie. Under universal health care, doctors would obviously still be making the medical decisions--the government would merely pay them.)
No, we can't have bureaucrats making medical decisions. Clearly, this is the role of insurance companies!
