I’ve said all along there will be no single payer.
Insurance companies spend big money on campaign donations and have one of the best squads of lobbyists in DC.
This is about crony capitalism/fascism, not socialism.
I think there will be single payer.
The Insurance companies want to be the ones that manage it. Of course, in the end, they will all get eaten but one, but the fight is now who gets to be that one.
Money does not mean anything once power is obtained. Money is just the means to achieve power and once it is achieved, it is all about CONTROL - not money.
Dr. Death, Ezekiel Emmanuel Mengele, the ‘architect’ of ObamaCare, just declared last week that Americans “can kiss your insurance company goodbye forever”. He said insurance companies are ‘going to go the way of the dodo bird’ within a year or two.
So there WILL be single payer - with what is left of the insurance companies vying for a position in some Executive bureaucracy that will make health care decisions for you, and for me. The Death Panels and it’s ensuing skyscraper wall of endless red tape bureaucracy.
Single Payer will simply become applied via fascism until the White House simply takes it over in total after it’s been implemented under a ‘temp’ system from former insurance company execs in a newly-crafted bureaucracy.
Think of it as the ‘Imperial Senate’ in Star Wars. Eventually, after it serves the purpose of creating the illusions and smoothing the transition from free market to totalitarianism - the Emperor will simply dissolve the council permanently.
Bump. The O-care was designed to crush insurance companies over a number of years. But the stupid central planners forgot to take basic economics courses, and their idiot plan has backfired. I do expect the insurance companies to not let a crisis go to waste.
