Not surprised by this.
Huffington Post:
In regard to specific talking points, the RNC Memo has nine of them:
* President Obama and Democrats are conducting a grand experiment with our economy, our country, and now our health care.
* President Obama's massive spending experiments have created more debt than at any other time in our nation's history.
* The President experimented with a $780 billion dollar budget-busting stimulus plan and unemployment is still rising. The President experimented with banks and auto companies, and now we're on the hook for tens of billions of dollars with no exit plan.
* Now the President is proposing more debt and more risk through a trillion dollar experiment with our health care.
* Democrats are proposing a government controlled health insurance system, which will control care, treatments, medicines and even what doctors a patient may see.
* This health care experiment will have consequences for generations, but President Obama and Democrats want to ram this legislation through Congress in two months.
* President Obama's health care experiment is too much, too fast, too soon. Our country cannot afford to fix health care through a rushed experiment.
* Americans want health care reform that addresses, not increases, cost or debt.
* Government takeover is the wrong way to go -- health care decisions should remain between the doctor and the patient.
Officials with the RNC did not immediately return a request for clarification or comment on the memo's subject matter. While documents like these commonly are passed around behind the scenes by like-minded partisans on both sides of the aisle they usually don't make their way into the public. At the very least, it provides an insight into how the Republican Party believes it can gain the upper hand, politically, in the current health care reform debate.

Health care reform is greatly needed. We all pay when others can't. Many people who get sick and are working end up going bankrupt because of the co-payments, etc.
If people don't wake up now, and realize something needs to be done, and soon, costs will soar due to people unable to pay.
I heard on news radio this morning that one of our richer, if not one of the richest suburbs in Illinois, Barrington, is now footing the bill for home maintenance. Seems foreclosed homes are not having weeds, grass, trees, etc maintained while vacant. Since banks own them, and it's hard to figure out which bank, now the city has to pay for these services. The banks who do pay, are finding out how expensive it is to be a landlord, and surely the costs will be passed on, now suburbs, cities etc are also footing the bill.
When people who have, insurance, home, whatever, don't realize they will pay too. This costs everyone.
chicken little republicans
