Wikipedia says we had 50% nationalized “single payer” health care and Canada has 70% I believe. With Obamacare subsidies thrown in, I wonder if we’ll be as socialized as Canada after that.

Oh, and don’t forget; that masectomy you need? You have to wait NINE MONTHS for it. Ooops! The cancer spread to far! Too late! And the State doesn’t pay for expensive experimental treatments!
Good bye!

No, the O admin is a failure with healthcare as it is. I don’t think they get rewarded for failure.

The economic logic of single-payer is inescapable. Tick, Tick, .... Tick.

Amy, hon, you’re jumping the gun just a wee bit on the “Obamacare has failed, therefore single-payer will be necessary to fix it” bandwagon. I guess you didn’t get the memo from your Obammunist masters to wait until AFTER the 2014 elections to advocate for socialized medical care.

An interesting road to single payer. If we did suddenly declare single payer we would still be stuck with some kind of registration system. This 700 million dollar registration system seems to be a failure. We couldn't base it on the IRS records because not everybody files tax returns.
The next time a liberal brings up single payer in your presence, make them really mad by suggesting the use of a voter ID for the health benefits card.

I love liberal logic: “The government screwed up limited control of health insurance, so they’re the natural choice to control it all.”

let’s not make this mistake again
NEVER refer to “single payer” alone
ALWAYS refer to it as “single payer government control” healthcare. It’s like Obamacare, only worse”
We let the libtards define the terminology over and over and over

You basically described insurance companies.
Just replace “gov’t clerk” with “insurance agent in India” and you are accurate

LMBO!
Yeah, let’s double down on crass stupidity! That’s the liberal mantra.
To: silverleaf
Eh, not really.
What if it is through your employer, and as most employers mandate, you must get insurance through them?
Quit your job for another insurance company? Please.
Insurance is crap in this country, as is the idea of gov’t run insurance. But what you described was the current insurance reality for Americans
