2009
Overview
Around 1,000 demonstrators gathered at North Carolina's capitol on Saturday to support Barack Obama's proposals for universal healthcare. In one of four rallies across the state, some carried placards stating: \"If it's broke, fix it\", and \"Insurance profits are bad for my health\", while ironic \"Billionaires against healthcare\" strode the grounds in top hats, carrying fat cigars and glasses of champagne as they mocked their enemy. Across the street stood 50 counter-protesters with signs saying \"Socialism is an Obamanation\", and \"Revolution is brewing: 2010\", and \"Not ready for Obama's communist America\". That is no minor feat. Central to derailing Obama's reforms has been the high-profile disruption of town hall meetings by conservatives alleging, among other things, that universal healthcare would create death panels that could kill your grandmother. Small in number but well organised, they captured the attention of the media. It is the silly season, and a lot of these people are quite silly. Like the \"birthers\", who insist that Obama was not born in America, most of their claims are not only demonstrably false but downright daft. They have argued that if Stephen Hawking were British he would be dead, even though Hawking is British and alive. They insist that under the NHS the state decides whether to \"pull the plug on grandma\".
