RUSH: Robin in Houston, you\u2019re next on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. Thanks for taking my call.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, ma\u2019am.<\/p>\n

CALLER: I\u2019m calling, the monologue you gave a while back about how when we get back in power, that we\u2019re going to basically use all the tactics that they\u2019ve used against us on them —<\/p>\n

RUSH: I was kind of having fun that day.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes.<\/p>\n

RUSH: I was warning them, okay, you guys are putting in all these laws and privileges for the government to wreak havoc on people, wait \u2019til we get in power and turn \u2019em on you, that\u2019s basically what I said.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. And to that point, the health care, well, all of what he\u2019s doing but mostly the health care thing recently, we keep hearing that once health care takes hold that we\u2019re not going to be able to turn it back and mainly based on more than the individual but the businesses because if they go to the state-run or socialized medicine, then that\u2019s, you know, off their backs for having to provide insurance for employees. And so that, you know, is scary, but my point is that when we do take back power all these radical things that they\u2019ve done, why couldn\u2019t we radically reduce taxes to the amount where businesses, it\u2019s advantageous to just completely wipe out the health care, socialized medicine —<\/p>\n

<\/a>RUSH: I think I got the question. The question is why can\u2019t we roll back nationalized health care if we get power back? Well, I talked to Liz Cheney after the program yesterday in an interview for the next issue of the Limbaugh Letter, which is the most widely read political newsletter in America today, by the way: 800-457-4141, the number to order. Now, Liz Cheney back in the early nineties was part of a State Department team that went to the Soviet Union to help — well, the old Soviet Union, the liberated Soviet Union, to try to instruct them on creating a private sector economy, taking power away from the centralized authorities in Moscow, and so I asked her as a joke yesterday, I said, ‘Okay, Liz, who\u2019s going to do what you did to reassert freedom and the private sector in this country after we get control of government and take it back?\u2019 She just started laughing and started talking about the experiences in Russia, the Soviet Union, that she had had. <\/p>\n

The reason why a rollback on health care is going to be almost impossible is because it\u2019s going to permeate at virtually every level of our society. I\u2019m not saying it couldn\u2019t be done, but it would be the hardest thing to roll back. It\u2019s easy to lower taxes, for example, and it\u2019s easy to sell General Motors to somebody in the private sector. But when you\u2019re talking something as massive as national health care with tentacles that go as deep into the strata of our society as possible, you know, rolling all that back, that would be major.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: This is Michael from parts unknown, cannot say where he is. Hello, Michael.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Great day to you, Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yes, sir.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Hey, I have some firsthand information that I think you might be interested in. The American Cancer Society, for the most part, is a great organization, but they have stepped into what I consider to be great hypocrisy. They are now making phone calls to constituents and they are telling them this — and trust me, this is very accurate. They are saying, part of what they say, ‘Fighting cancer means fixing health care. The current health care system is failing millions of our Americans and the need for reform is now. Insurance costs seem to get higher each year, and some policies don\u2019t even cover lifesaving cancer screenings. Many cancer survivors can\u2019t get the adequate and affordable health care coverage because of preexisting conditions. Too often –‘ this is what really killed me ‘– too often consumers don\u2019t fully understand their policies and find out too late that they don\u2019t have adequate coverage.\u2019 I\u2019m just kind of baffled when here it is they\u2019re trying to promote this, and national health care reform, where, you know, we hear about like in England all the time these patients who aren\u2019t getting cancer medications to help them out. To me that\u2019s hypocrisy to the highest level.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Sounds like it.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yeah. And then one of the things they add on at the end is, if you want to be transferred, to talk to your local senator. Part of what they say is that part of the thing that they want to have included in it is to make cancer screening either available for free or at very little cost. So who\u2019s going to pay for it, guys? Just I\u2019m baffled.<\/p>\n

RUSH: See, but that\u2019s part of the ruse. Put the word free or low-cost out there and then associate it with the government running it and that\u2019s how you advance the cause. It\u2019s, to me, not surprising at all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
