(3,596 posts)that is a flat-out untruth. What they are opposed to is what they understand the law to be and contain such as death panels, individual mandate that can result in losing your home, your car, your business or incarceration, government take-over of health care, government limiting your choice of doctors, etc., rationing of health care, etc.
The law does none of those things but the public's perception is that it does. That is what is important in this black is white and up is down world in which we live.
Health care is indeed rationed. It is rationed first and foremost to those that can afford health insurance and within that sub-set it is rationed further by corporate bean counters that want to rake in the premiums but pay nothing out in benefits.
