Ping!
The reason is simple: It’s the easiest way for the federal government to undertake a massive bailout of cities and states, which are at their breaking point.
Not to mention, businesses
followed by, or featuring, euthenasia — because healthcare must offer “choice” to all.
Hopefully, the Red Chinese will agree to finance it for the “messiah.” The United States is broke! National healthcare my @$$.
As I’ve said before: if/when this happens, I am going to do my part in bringing it down.
Every little ache and pain will be dealt with by a doctor. I will insist on a doctor, not a nurse.
I will become a leech on the system.

My guess would be that health care simply would not be available to conservatives or republicans under such a scheme; we’d simply be allowed and encouraged to die out.
Just need a big insurance company like United or Aetna to need a bailout and the gov’t can sweep in and take over the entire industry. Just the opening they would like.
It seems that our arrogant elected theives see that tax payers as a bottomless pit which they can steal money from for any hair brained idea that enters their pea brain that my get them reelected.
When joe sixpack has no more money for them to steal they will be in total control and not even bother to worry about reelection because they will pass a law that says that each voter must pay a fee in order to vote, no money - no vote, problem solved.
This guy cannot do his analysis. 1 in 7 GDP dollars goes into health care. That is about all that the health care system can get. We can fuss with it around the edges, but the reason it is broke has more to do with how we pay for it and how we manage it (way too much bureaucracy) than in how much we pay for it.
I wonder if they will try to pass amnesty first. If they did pass amnesty, it would be pretty hard to hide the additional cost to “nationalized health care.” One possibility is they pass “nationalized health care” first and try to cover illegal aliens in a sneaky way. That way, if they passed the healthcare, they would claim that the illegals are already covered, so “legalizing them would not be as much of a problem.”
With Nationalized Health Care comes health care rationing, and eventual mandatory euthanasia.
I’ve been saying this was what would facilitate the takeover for years. The unfunded mandates of state and local agencies is huge and Nanny H will effectively make their burdens go away, increase their credit ratings and allow them another cycle of overborrowing to fund handout crap until we’re good and well toasted...
