It is not FUD, it's perfectly relevant to the current health care debate.

It is FUD unless you can substantiate it. I asked for an example. The one you provided does not support *any* of the three referenced objections to a socialized scheme.

Of course lots of things *might* happen. But do you refuse to ride in an aeroplane because it might crash? Do you refuse to use a granite kitchen bench because it might be radioactive? Some people really do behave that way. I do not believe they are the majority. Many of us prefer to rely on experience, evidence and substantiated expert opinion/standards to decide what is best for us. And others don't really care as long as they get to educate their kids or buy a new widescreen TV. When you see talking heads on both sides presenting their arguments in the media it's dismaying to see how many of them seem to be targeting Groups 1 and 3. If this means that Group 2 has become too few or too disempowered to be worth addressing, maybe it's time to assert political rights again.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
