LOL: Reagancare vs. Obamacare

Poll: Republicans support Obamacare If It Is Called 'Reagancare '


Money Quote:

“I don’t know there’s just something about the word Reagan that makes (Reagancare) work,”says Todd Johnson, an unemployed civil war reenactment specialist from Huntsville, Alabama, “It sounds lighter, more bright and optimistic. Obamacare has a very dark tone to it. It seems shadowy and ominous.

"I haven't had health insurance since 1998. And in my line of work, I could sure use some. But I think I'm gonna wait until Reagancare comes out. I just don't trust Obama."


This asshole is literally too stupid for his own good.

I'm gonna wait for "Reagancare?" Like some organization will provide health insurance in his name after Reagan's (literal) record on Socialized Medicine?

It's gotta be satire.

Well part of that was defeunding mental hospitals and throwing mental patients out on the street. Which worked OK for him until he was shot by one of them.

The sad part is though, I had to go out and research to see if this was really true because there was a very good chance it was.
