Anyway....
This seems to be the root cause of most of the paranoia (that I've witnessed) displayed by extreme right "Socialism!" finger pointers. They seem to think that providing affordable health care to everyone is somehow going to cause Stalin to rise up from the grave and put us all in forced labor camps, and it's simply ludicrous. And then the conversation usually devolves into blaming illegal immigrants for everything and goes to hell from there.
