Lord save us!  The end (of fiscal conservatism) is near!  All prepare  
for doom!  The poor people down the street have health care so the  
"remunerations to other countries" have to stop!  What will we do  
without the exorbitant prices American pharmaceuticals extort from the  
vapid citizens of the US and the rest of the (read: formerly  
colonized) world?!  Gasp?!  How will Africa survive without  
remunerations if there is one global price for AZT or hypertension  
medication or infant formula?!  Quick!  Let us pray to the informed  
gods of national health care to tell us on their almighty blogs what  
went wrong in France, Canada, England and the rest of "old" Europe!   
Let us rush to the conservative talking heads who will soothe the  
souls of the American middle class while encouraging them to fight  
against their own best interests with tales about how horrible the  
medical situation is in Socialist Europe or Communist Cuba (the  
country that offers free accredited, medical training for future  
American doctors who will go on to serve rural American places often  
for little or no pay)!  Let us heed the screeds from Scottish papers,  
a country whose doctors historically have conducted an inordinate  
amount of horrifying experimentation on black bodies in the name of  
making a national scientific name, because, well, because!  Help!   
Head for the hills!  The end of the (right wing conservative) world is  
upon us and all we have are innuendo and lies to protect ourselves!
