Familiar names among raised voices in coalition against US health reform

Source: The Guardian Uk

The Republican party, on the defensive since its crushing defeat in November's presidential and Congressional elections, sees healthcare as a first sign of Obama's vulnerability. Much of the damage to the health package is being done by Christian pastors such as Rick Joyner, of the MorningStar ministries based in South Carolina. Joyner, who has a large following, on his website raises the spectre of Hitler and Stalin, a comparison that has entered the mainstream of arguments by opponents of health reform.

Describing the healthcare bill as diabolical, Joyner writes: "As incomprehensible as it may seem, this is about euthanasia, the power to determine who lives or dies in America. Hitler and Stalin would have loved to have had a means such as this for dispatching the millions they killed. It would have made their job much easier, and probably given them the ability to kill many more than they did. This bill is sinister."
