Everyone knows by now that even poor, sick people should be able to see a doctor, but no one should feel frightened of America becoming a socialist country. Does anyone understand any of it? It doesn’t make sense.

A fear of socialism is the driving force behind the anti-ObamaCare movement, and it’s a distraction.

When people are sick they should be able to go to the doctor. It’s that simple.

There is no impending socialist dictatorship. It’s far-reaching to assume that the U.S. will become a socialist nation if it provides healthcare to everyone. Capitalism isn’t going anywhere and no one really thinks it is. Just try and imagine America without capitalism. Impossible.

So where do all of these opinions come from?

Everyone saw it on TV. Or someone who saw it on TV told it to rest of those who were busy sleeping when it came on TV, and by the time it’s time for a real conversation it’s not even worth it anymore. Everything is supposedly fresh like a vacuum-sealed salad on the shelf and packaged up nicely, but when it gets opened up it doesn’t taste right.

There is even a Facebook page dedicated to the opinion that ObamaCare is a socialist, fascist conspiracy. The hero of the page is Glenn Beck and it shows that people are just getting this widely accepted opinion from the television. But it can’t be real.

There are currently only five socialist countries: China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, and Laos. Despite what some people might think, France isn’t one of them, however, all French citizens have access to a doctor whenever they need one.

Sweden, which is a functioning democracy and survives on capitalism, allows its citizens full health care and college educations. They are not socialists, even if one of the seven parties running for control calls itself such.

In America, sick students work two jobs to pay back college loans.

In America a tired work force, which is slowed enormously by people who have to “just go into work anyway,” remain sick because they can’t afford a doctor. No wonder our economy is having a melt down.

The only thing anyone is saying against ObamaCare is that we’re becoming socialists. It’s tiring to hear the ongoing this or that, right or left, conversation, especially after having just heard it on television.

Obama could be the next Hitler for all anyone really knows. He could be the next Jesus Christ. He could be a big nothing at all, and it doesn’t matter.

What should matter is that people who can’t afford health care should still have access to it. It’s obvious.

ObamaCare isn’t the answer, but at least it’s something. And it sure isn’t socialism.
