A rare moment of Rat candor.

Where is the opposition?
Is there still one?
There are, I am told, still several Republicans in Congress. They should be out there presenting alternatives.
The only way Government insurance would work for the uninsured would be to provide it at a steep discount. Once such a plan were made widely available insurance companies will find them selves in a no win situation. As customers jump lower cost taxpayer subsidized plan, the private business will be forced out of business.
Robert Gibbs may come along shortly and tell us what this fellow meant to say.
“...who are pushing for a public health insurance...”
Public health insurance is like public education. It’s a scheme by the ruling class to get the middle class to pay for the lower class.
If they know this is not a good deal; why do it?
I’m a “single payer advocate” too! People should pay their own damn bills and not whine that other people should pay them.
When the Health Insurance industry is destroyed, there’s only one thing left. The Government and that’s what they want. Tax the people to death, control their health, decide who lives and dies..........total control.
“...This is not a principled fight....”
When it’s a dhimmicrat that’s fighting, there are most certainly no principles involved.
I like my private health coverage. Does that count for anything?
ZeroCare - the RAT final solution; an alternative way to implement in the US the equivalent to the Stalin’s solution to the Ukraine
- why not insurance?
They'll be as successful at insurance as they are at banking. And don't you just luv, luv, luv the department of motor vehicles?
the major difference between now and HillaryCare in ‘92 is that so many employers now are so sick and tired of the shuffle...the 40% rate increases, the months spent shopping for a more affordable plan, the lower benefits and higher premiums that come with any new plan they can afford, their employees being ticked-off at them no matter what they do...most businesses I fear have flipped sides and decided they want the Feds to take this cup from them, no matter what the cost.
Isn’t that the point?
How is "single payer" different from "monopoly"? I thought monopolies were bad(?) Maybe not if the king is named "Obama"?
Medical insurance is such a joke, anything would be improvement.
Yet, uniquely here in the United States of America, we are supposed to have a FEDERAL SYSTEM. Surely, given the absolute majorities that the current administration enjoys, there must be a state that would be PROUD to lead the nation into this brave new world, right?
My personal vote would be for Vermont and make a certain ex-governor/doctor, Howard Dean, its Health Czar. Then from the neighboring states we can monitor the 'satisfaction' of the populace and debug the operation before it gets IMPOSED willy-nilly upon our entire country!
Death of health care ping.
