So Bush is attacking Kerry's health plans by saying stuff like this:
"When the federal government starts to write the rules, the government decides who's covered and who gets the coverage and how much care you get."
A friend of mine was telling me about an acquaintance who was diagnosed a year or so ago with a brain tumor. She is a Kaiser patient. He asked her, "So, are you going to have surgery?" No, none of that. They won't pay for her to get a second opinion, they won't operate, they just told her to come back in a year and they'd monitor the tumor in some way. Yes, this is just anecdotal evidence, but you talk to people and you hear stories like that more frequently than you would like.
Newsflash, Mr. President: right now, health insurance companies get to decide who's covered and who gets the coverage and how much care you get. And if you aren't the president, your choices suck.
