But, since he's not, you have no point, whatsoever.

What passes for right wing politics in the USA is as Monty Python once said is the politics of the Stark-raving, Bonzo, Loonie, Silly Party.

This is funny because seriously people can't even afford to have their parents around them because THEY ARE TOO STUPID OR TOO LAZY TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO CARE FOR THEIR PARENTS..

Health and safety issues within nursing homes are rather common in the US.

How strange it is that you can't see the parallel between government involvement and "very bad services".

Government cannot pay for all the promises they make.

But they can bankrupt you trying.

I would invoke the term "Orwellian" here, but I don't think George Orwell ever came up with anything quite as Orwellian as this.

If anyone truly believes this is not the direction the left in this country is trying to take us, then I have some ocean-front property in Arizona that you may be interested in.

And of course we all know what comes after this. It is the dreaded government run death panels, which Howard Dean and Mark Halperin, high-profile lefties both, have both affirmed are already built into our current Obamacare law.

Actually it's history repeating itself. In America in the early 1800s people who were very poor and could not support themselves or were disabled, were sold off to the lowest bidder at public auctions.

I think you are right that the Progressives are on board with this. They have selective memory when it comes to history.
