Reid: ObamaCare Just a Step Towards Single-Payer System
Breitbart ^ | 08/10/2013 | John Nolte

Posted on 08/10/2013 6:42:50 AM PDT by Rusty0604

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.

“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.

Reis also said that ObamaCare was "a step in the right direction" and that America has to "work our way past” insurance-based health care.

Look to Canada:
The majority wait in line for non existant health care.
Those with cash travel out of Country to a Private Hospital.

The problem are those who present themselves to Hospital emergency when they skin their knee, after all its free!
Next, regulation. Read an article this week about the markup on hips and knees, whereas a Private Hospital in Brussels with instal the new joint, made in USA, at a fraction of the USA install cost

Old joke: When the USA has socialized health care, where will the Canadians go when they need good and quick health care?

Most Americans that understand this “train wreck” want to stop it but cannot. America is run by a communists inspired empire and we have no tools except civil war to stop it.

So the Dems sold Obamacare to the country as a grand solution yet they have no faith in its basic operation? Isn't that just a little, you know, deceptive? You'd think maybe they'd let the country in on the fact that they see Obamacare as a fundamentally flawed intermediate solution.

But of course to leftists, lying on a colossal scale is leadership.

Only a low/no information voter would have missed that the vast majority of progressive democrats admit CommieCare is just an intermediate step towards full government health care.

They are of course so dishonest that they call it Single Payer instead of taxpayer funded rationed Communist Medicine.

Please stop calling it ObamaCare as I don’t know too many people who want to be reminded of this ultra low point in our country’s history by hearing his name every day.

commiecare. There were some pictures taken in a Cuban hospital that showed how awful their free care is for the common person. Not what the gov’t elites receive and what the Hollywood supporters see when they go to visit.

That crossroads video in post 9 is a new ad and you might see it on tv.

You can pass it around to family, friends, etc.

Reid knows the plan is designed to fail without massive tax increases and the under 26 don’t need it they are covered under mom and pops plan.
Obamacare may be dead by the end of 20014.

If the national media was not biased the whole thing would be a scandal of the arrogance of power of a single political party going against the will of the American people to destroy the best health care system in the world.

This was never about the delivery of health care, it is all about control of the populace. Patient databases and behavioral nudging programs. I see a black market provider industry developing for people that want to drop of the “grid”.
