Here's something posted on a facebook called Socialism Doesn't Work:
Doug Scott
Page 241 Line 6-8 HC Bill: Doctors: It doesn't matter what specialty you have trained yourself in -- you will all be paid the same! (Just TRY to tell me that's not Socialism!)

Then you get some twenty outraged posts about how we can fall into totalitarianism. Seriously, I wouldn't expect them to actually read those two lines, but how the fuck can they believe a bill would be written in that kind of language? It really doesn't raise any bullshit alarms in their heads?

Here was my response:
"Page 241 Line 6-8 HC Bill: Doctors: It doesn't matter what specialty you have trained yourself in -- you will all be paid the same! (Just TRY to tell me that's not Socialism!)"
What I will say is that that's not Page 241 Line 6-8 of the HR3200.
Have you actually read the bill or you just like speaking against it?
Here are lines 6-8 in page 241, word for word:
"Service categories established under this paragraph shall apply without regard to the specialty of the physician furnishing the service."
This paragraph is in regards to the previous page, detailing a separation of service categories into basically those services which are codified, and those that don't.
All this means is that the healthcare bill applies to all health services. Just as any other bill mentions how its application will apply to all the particulars of said bill. No mention about money whatsoever. Not even close.

Once again I reiterate; there's so many legitimate reasons to dislike socialism. Why do you feel the need to simply lie and create red herrings to hate it?




They didn't actually address it.
