		<description>&quot;But hey, if you want the same bureaucracy that runs the Social Security Administration and FEMA to decide when you see a doctor, what kind of treatment you receive, and when you will receive it, then go for it. You deserve what you get.&quot;

Hey Mike, fuck off, you ignorant shit.

I live in a country with socialized medicine and I&#039;m the only one who decides when I see a doctor. And guess you chooses what medical treatment  I get? Me and my doctor.

So unless you want to stop lying, you should shut the fuck up.

		<description>yes, Rudy&#039;s right, we&#039;ll just outsource all our health care needs to low-cost-of-labor countries like China and Thailand, and our health care costs should plummet.

Of course, actually getting to Beijing to see your doctor may prove to be tricky, but Rudy&#039;s a &quot;vision&quot; kind of guy. Doesn&#039;t get bogged down in petty details.

		<description>To continue the quote, adding in the parts that Oliver conveniently omitted:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Health insurance should be more like home insurance and car insurance, he said, with &quot;empowered consumers&quot; buying their own plans, he said. He said he would provide tax incentives so people could afford coverage.

The idea of universal health care is &quot;paternalistic&quot; and impractical, he said.

&quot;If you try to do socialized medicine, a la Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Barack Obama or Michael Moore, you&#039;re going to end up with a disaster worse than welfare,&quot; he said. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

It&#039;s a fact that when consumers have a choice, competition forces prices to fall.  I&#039;m not surprised that this concept is lost on most Democrats, because socialists have a hard time understanding how free enterprise works.

But hey, if you want the same bureaucracy that runs the Social Security Administration and FEMA to decide when you see a doctor, what kind of treatment you receive, and when you will receive it, then go for it.  You deserve what you get.

		<description>Lots of people have had better ideas. Every industrialized nation in the world, for example, except us.

		<description>Better yet, let&#039;s hear a better solution to the problems in the healthcare industry.

It&#039;s easy to call somebody &#039;stupid&#039;. As Oliver proves, any idiot can do that.

		<description>There about twenty reasons why Giuliani&#039;s argument is crappy, and I say this as someone who is generally pro-market.

Someone with the time should itemize them.
