I don't think the reaction we're seeing is founded in racism. Instead, it's because of the right's irrational fear of any politics to the left of Ayn Rand. Thus, desperately needed health care reform becomes just another power grab by the government on the road to socialism. The fact that every other First World country has a health care system much more expansive than the system being proposed, and none of them have yet to descend into a Stalinist hell is irrelevant.
