“Obamacare is socialized medicine,” says the Republican Party. No, no — excuse me — socialized medicine is what we have now! People without insurance can go to an emergency ward or throw themselves on the mercy of a doctor, and the cost of all this uncompensated care is shared by all those who have insurance, raising your rates and mine. That is socialized medicine and that is what Obamacare ends. Yet Obama — the champion of private insurance for all — has allowed himself to be painted as a health care socialist. The problem: Rs make short soundbytes that are untrue or only partially true. The Dem response usually turns out to be fairly complicated and nuanced out of necessity. Americans don't do complicated and nuanced but they do do short soundbytes.
