Those #^&!*$% Socialist Veterans

Actual Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders, I-VT, knows that compared to single-payer systems Medicare and VA, the public option being proposed for health care reform is capitalism on steroids.

So yesterday, Sanders had a little fun with Senator John McCain, R-LOSER.

Heather at Crooks and Liars:

Bernie Sanders gives John McCain an uncomfortable moment asking him if the VA is socialized health care, and if he or anyone else in the Senate is advocating doing away with it. Sanders is exactly right. It is not the job of the Senate to protect the private health insurance industry. It's a shame the best we may get out of the Senate is a public option and that we don't have a few more Bernie Sanders out there fighting for real health care reform.

    A small thing, perhaps, but it's more accurate to say that Sanders is a self-proclaimed socialist. Whatever the trueness of his socialism, his voting record is matched or exceeded by many other "socialists" in Congress.

    If we're going to try this little experiment, why not start with a few states to see if it will work? The potential answers: stupidity, hubris, or it's not really about trying to improve health care.
