Fox News: Universal health care breeds terrorists.


Today on Fox News’s Your World With Neil Cavuto, National Review Online columnist Jerry Bowyer attacked Michael Moore’s movie SiCKO
and its positive portrayal of the health care in countries such as
Britain and France. He argued that national health care systems are
breeding grounds for terrorists because they are “bureaucratic.” “I
think the terrorists have shown over and over again…they’re very good
at gaming the system with bureaucracies,” said Bowyer.
Bowyer also claimed that in the United States, “if one of your
doctors is spending all the time online reading Osama bin Laden fatwas,
someone’s going to notice that.”
UPDATE: Michael Roston at Raw Story has compiled conservatives bloggers’ attacks on SiCKO HERE.
Transcript:

A state run health care enterprise is bureaucratic, and
I think the terrorists have shown over and over again, whether it’s
dealing with INS or whether it’s dealing with airport security, they’re
very good at gaming the system with bureaucracies. They’re very good at
getting around bureaucracies. […]
And if one of your guys is a jihadist, if one of your doctors is
spending all the time online reading Osama bin Laden fatwas, someone’s
going to notice that. But the National Health Serfvice is more like the
post office, you know there’s a lot of anonymity, it’s easy to hide in
the bureaucracy.

Vraiment très fort, Fox news. Quelle honte !

That is the most moronic thing I've ever heard

"He argued that national health care systems are
breeding grounds for terrorists because they are “bureaucratic" ????

i wonder what he'll think of national education then...

A breeding ground for dangerous democratic ideas?
