Anti-health care protesters hang freshman Democrat in effigy

[CatWoman]

A group called “Patients First,” a project of the lobbyist-funded Americans for Prosperity, has been going around the country and hosting tea parties in opposition to “government-run health care.” Last week, they held a symposium in Salisbury, MD, and warned about the dangers of “socialized” medicine. Yesterday, some individuals decided to protest outside Democratic Rep. Frank Kratovil’s office, even though he hasn’t yet come out in favor of a public option. Protesters even hung up Kratovil in effigy: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/07/28/dem-effigy-afp/

6. No plan being considered comes even close to "government-run health care"

Even H.R. 676 isn't gov't run. It is just gov't paid.
