Lets call it Reagancare!!!

Congress should take the name 'single payer' and just rename it 'Reagancare'

Like bots all the teafolk will vote for it, they wont even know what the hell it is. We already know that if you take something people are opposed to, call it something else .... 'rich'...'job creator'... people are more open to it. Especially those less mentally gifted on the right.


Let the GOP own that as their alternative to obamacare and let them pass it. The rubes out there won't know any different. Once its passed maybe a few of them will realize its actual socialized medicine but I doubt it.

Reagancare forever!!
