Mouth-breathing idiots are so convinced of the evils of universal health care that they will eagerly and unquestioningly accept whatever lies they are told about it, no matter how ridiculous. E.g., people who fervently believe that Medicare coverage for end-of-life counseling (which is purely voluntary, for fucks sake, and which people already get all the time) means mandatory euthanasia for grandma. I don't think people are actually getting dumber; they're no dumber than they've always been. I just think that this issue is pulling all the dumb ones out of the woodwork and giving them lots of great opportunities to demonstrate how dumb they really are by parroting nonsense that Rush Limbaugh fed them.
EDIT: So yeah, the mudslingers who make up ridiculous shit about UHC are good at what they do.
