Specter: Now With Full-Fledged Socialist Goodness | Snapped Shot

I find it ironic that Sen Arlen Specter claimed that the Republican party left him, thus forcing him to become a Democrat.

But yet, when one looks at his career, voting record, and his statements on American values, a person can't come to any other conclusion but that this man is a Socialist. 

Pure and Simple.

Specter suggested writing into all health insurance policies an annual physical exam, which he said could help catch ailments at an early stage and reduce treatment costs overall.

“There are lots of ailments that get to be chronic if you don’t intercept them at an early stage,” he said. “They’re debilitating and they are costly.”

To further reduce costs, Specter said he would like to mandate a 6-month jail sentence in convictions of Medicaid and Medicare fraud.

As to the most controversial portion of the health reform bill, the so-called “public option,” Specter reiterated his support for such a provision.
