Giuliani’s plan for fixing America’s uninsured problem is to offer tax credits… to families, (with just a touch of “trickle down” thrown in for good measure). First off, what about the rest of us, Rudy? Should we continue keeping our fingers crossed and hope we don’t get sick? Secondly, would someone please tell me how offering tax credits to any group can’t be called “social”? Does Rudy believe tax dollars are pulled out of some magical elephant’s butt? The government operates on a finite amount of funds. If Rudy gives all these tax credits to “families”, then who the hell ultimately pays for it? I’ll tell you who. The rest of us - THE UNINSURED!

I’d like to note also that it appears Giuliani has his very own ‘Rove’ to help in his bid for king president. In his latest campaign, Rudy used two ‘S’ words… Socialized (as in socialized medicine) and Squeal (as in those no-good, squealing Democratic babies). A tactic bound to leave him looking like a squeaky-clean American, and his democratic opposition looking like “dirty, low-down commies”. Rudy should be told that trick only works on the stupidest of America’s stupid… and that Republicans have the votes of that twenty’something-percent already in the bag.

Giuliani offers health care plan

Calls for tax credits for private care rather than ’socialized medicine’

Republican presidential hopeful, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, poses for a photo during a surprise campaign stop at R.M. Heath Supermarket in Moultonborough, N.H., Monday.

ROCHESTER, N.H. - Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani on Tuesday offered a consumer-oriented solution to the nation’s health care woes that relies on giving individuals tax credits to purchase private insurance.

Critical to Giuliani’s plan is a $15,000 tax deduction for families to buy private health insurance, instead of getting insurance through employers. Any leftover funds could be rolled over year-to-year for medical expenses.

“Government cannot take care of you. You’ve got to take care of yourself,” he said. “As more of us do that, the cheaper it will become and the higher in quality it becomes.”

Giuliani used his appearance to continue criticizing the Democratic candidates, contending that their plans amount to socialized medicine.

“We’ve got to solve our health care problem with American principles, not the principles of socialism,” he said. “I know Democrats will say this is unfair, I know they’ll squeal… But I’m a realist. I face reality, which is: if you take more people and have government cover it, it’s called socialized medicine.”

This from someone that has free doctor visits for life, and probably has more money than God. Hey, I’m against frivolous lawsuits of any kind myself. All they do is joke up the system, thus slowing it down to a snails crawl. But I have a feeling that, in Rudy’s mind, just compensation for being maimed for life by a doctor would amount to free coffee for a month at the plaintiff’s closest Starbucks.

People, we REALLY need to run Lobbyists out of D.C.!
