The Leftist progressives are never done. You see, they had to get the votes for something that obscured single-payer, but that could still work towards those ends...it didn't necessarily have to work at all. They have to tear down the best working system in the world to build up their idealistic utopian plan. Thus Obamacare.Breitbart: Although polls show the American people's opposition to ObamaCare is increasing to all-time highs, Senate majority Leader Harry Reid is making no secret of the fact that Democrats look at Obama's signature legislation as merely a step towards putting ObamaCare on steroids through a single-payer system.
The Las Vegas Sun reports that during an appearance on "Nevada Week In Review, Reid answered, "Yes. Yes. Absolutely, yes," when asked if "the country would have to have a health care system that abandoned insurance as the means of accessing it."
The idea of introducing a single-payer national health care system to the United States, or even just a public option, sent lawmakers into a tizzy back in 2009, when Reid was negotiating the health care bill.Reid also said that ObamaCare was "a step in the right direction" and that America has to "work our way past” insurance-based health care.
“We had a real good run at the public option … don’t think we didn’t have a tremendous number of people who wanted a single-payer system,” Reid said on the PBS program, recalling how then-Sen. Joe Lieberman’s opposition to the idea of a public option made them abandon the notion and start from scratch.
"Single-payer" is a deceptive term that means "socialized medicine." Insurance companies are put out of business and the government takes over as the sole payer of all health care costs.
