Its more like the whole dang leg.

Bye bye ‘health INSURANCE’. 0bamacare obliterates the entire concept of insurance.
An October surprise? I loathe him.
I only sound his name when I need an expletive for excrement.
The Blue Cross (used to be for hospital claims) and Blue Shield plans have administered Medicare in all States since its inception.
They initiated most of the rules and regulations regarding coding for procedures and diagnoses.
Non-profit is a misnomer. Most Health Insurance companies began as “mutuals” - meaning the stakes (premiums and reserves) were held in trust for policyholders’ claims. Not sure that is true today.
The socialists want to get control over insurance reserves -those are some big bucks. Next - it will be the life insurance reserves.
This isn’t really about the push to single payer. The rest of the ACA is. It is about setting up a system which encourages the end of employer based benefits. Then people start getting accustomed to huge subsidies from the government to pay for their healthcare. The cost structure of the ACA collapses with the addition of those previously on employer based healthcare. Then we will be offered the option of paying much greater portions of the insurance premium or going on single payer. Not much of a choice. Once on single payer people will figure out what rationing means.
It looks like the white boys in the federal government are going to own all of those “lady parts” after all. Adios “women’s health”. The government bean counters will be making all of your health decisions now.
Of course; single pay was always the aim and it still is.
“Insurance experts see an obvious candidate for that role: the Government Employees Health Association, a nonprofit group that covers more than 900,000 federal employees, retirees and dependents”
Oh, for @%$^s sake.
Anyone surprised?
and right before the election it needs a big push right?
