As an update to this post, the RNC says it screwed up by suggesting that, under the Democrats’ health care reform proposal, ” the government could use voter registration to determine a person’s political affiliation, prompting fears that GOP voters might be discriminated against for medical treatment in a Democrat-imposed health care rationing system.”
“Although the question was inartfully worded, Americans have reason to be concerned about the failure of the Democrats’ health care experiment to adequately protect the privacy of Americans’ personal information,” an RNC spokesperson tells Greg Sargent.
Right. It’s just a hop, skip, and a jump from “inadequate privacy protections,” to “doctors might discriminate against Republican patients.”
