There's a liberal phrase twist in there, though, that's much more disconcerting when the MSM performs that particular gymnastic, rather than simply a liberal presenting their POV. I'm still hoping to find a reporter here and there who has lost his agenda and simply reports the facts.

If I wait outside MacDonalds, with $20 in my pocket, hoping for someone to come along and pay for my Big Mac and fries, have I been deprived of "Big Mac access", if I don't find a patron?

I understand the "make someone else pay for it" concept. But, as someone who pays several $K for family medical deductibles each year, I don't feel that I "have been denied access" to medical care.

Of course, if my neighbor has to pay for my care out of his pocket, or the customers of my employer have to pay for it out of their pocket, it's called "free". That's an equally disconcerting misnomer.
