I'm sure anyone watching any of the news channels recently has seen Shona Holmes and her dreary tale about being put on a long wait list for her brain tumor. So she went to the Mayo Clinic in the states and got treated for it. That's pretty much the center of the conservative viewpoint on UHC-- long wait times for critical health concerns.
Well, turns out this "brain tumor" was actually a harmless, benign cyst. Shona was given an appointment with a specialist in Ontario a few months after her diagnosis, but she chose not to wait. The GOP paid her to blow the story way out of proportion to the news outlets. The RepubLIEcans are desperately grabbing for anything they can to halt progress in this country. How people still suck on the collective dick of the GOP when every "argument" that Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, et al. brings up is exposed for what it truly is just amazes me.
