Boy the right-wing lie machine is kicking into high gear to stop real health care reform!
The latest right-wing talking point is that the Democratic healthcare plan will force seniors to see a counselor about how to to end their lives! Obama and the Democrats want to KILL old people! Of course it is all a LIE:

Snopes Refutes the euthanasia counseling lie
Then there is the LIE that the Democratic plan would OUTLAW private insurance:

All the right-wing LIES are paying off since the public is not turning against Obama's Healthcare Plan. The Obama administration and Democrats have allowed the opponents to dominate the public debate, and the media have been accomplices in silencing single-payer advocates and focusing on the conservative opposition and their propaganda against any public healthcare plan.
