Pretty much the way I see it. It's the same MO the left has used since, well, forever I suppose. Create a strawman problem, initiate an unconstitutional fix, allow it to grow to unsustainable levels, thereby requiring the need for another unconstitutional fix; rinse and repeat.
People are not so opposed to some government funding as they are to government controlling and gatekeeping. With Medicare people can go to whatever doctor they want. They do not need “permission” from a gatekeeper”.
