It’s not JUST a money grab. But it is a money grab. They will use healthcare as an excuse to increase taxes, and then they will spend the additional money on something else, but they will still implement socialized medicine. The worst of all worlds.
But the truth is that you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, even from here. What this means is that when Uncle Sam is on his fiscal deathbed, there will be no way to increase taxes to bail him out because they will have already done that. What it means is that Uncle Sam is ultimately doomed, but that’s not such a bad thing.
Guess it depends on your point of view.
