Healthcare is 'a privilege...not a right': GOP lawmaker
"President Obama is set to convene a summit on reforming healthcare Thursday, and some Republicans are already taking shots. Rep. Zach Wamp (Rep-Tenn) told MSNBC's Tamron Hall that Obama's proposed healthcare plans would be a "fast march to socialism", and that he believes that healthcare is not a right because many choose not to have insurance.
"This is almost class warfare in order for him to be able to say everyone now has health care. Listen, healthcare is a privilege," said Wamp.
The MSNBC anchor was almost taken aback by the "privilege" remark and asked Wamp to explain. "If you have cancer right now do you see it as a privilege to get some treatment?"
"I was just about to say, for some people it's a right but for everyone frankly it's not necessarily a right," he said."

The problem with what Wamp said is that he stated too clearly what too many me-firsters on the right believe: I've-got-mine-and-fuck-you.
Sometimes they just can't help themselves and blurt the truth right out.
