In an effort to defeat universal health care, conservatives are engaging in a campaign of lies that will ultimately cause more families to suffer needlessly at a most painful time. As someone who worked for years with end-of-life care issues, and spent years working in the HIV/AIDS community, I cannot let it pass.
It’s easy to play on people’s fear of death. It’s even easier when you’re willing to lie outright as conservatives are doing in the health care debate.
