Obama - (SEIU Healthcare Forum) - 3/24/07
"But I don't think we're going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately. There's going to be potentially some transition process. I can envision a decade out or 15 years out or 20 years out.."
Yes, if Obamacare’s a disaster then the only answer is gov run single payer.
Makes perfect sense
Obama is also on tape calling for an END to the “Cadillac” coverage plans.
He said that they are wasteful and lead to market abuses.
He wanted those people OFF of those plans. “Changes” by the insurance companies is NOT the only way to lose your plan.
You can keep your current plan IF it isn’t outlawed.
I don’t see it happening.
The Chicago mob (and the Clinton Crime Family) isn’t ideological as much as they are crony capitalists.
With single payer you eliminate insurance companies.
That would cut out a lot of potential graft and corruption.
Paul Krugman: ‘Death Panels and Sales Taxes is How We Do This’
October 29, 2013 by Lennie Jarratt
The following starts at the 1:00 minute mark of the video where Paul Krugman spoke at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in Washington, D.C.
“Eventually we do have a problem. That the population is getting older, health care costs are rising…there is this question of how we’re going to pay for the programs. The year 2025, the year 2030, something is going to have to give…. We’re going to need more revenue…. Surely it will require some sort of middle class taxes as well….. We won’t be able to pay for the kind of government the society will want without some increase in taxes…. on the middle class, maybe a value added tax…. And we’re also going to have to make decisions about health care, doc pay for health care that has no demonstrated medical benefits . So the snarky version…which I shouldn’t even say because it will get me in trouble, is death panels and sales taxes is how we do this.”
****ing communist bastard.
If the Dem’s win the House and the Senate in 2014 I guarantee you that Single-Payer (aka Socialist Medicine) will be passed and forced down our throats in 2015 and open borders and unlimited immigration to drive wages down for everyone. I am absolutely certain of this.
the transition period is for the time needed to fullfil the detriminental affects of Obamacare on the private health insurance industry, and the gradual, incremental expansion of who can qualify for one of the government subsidized plans, until the private health insurance industry has been prostrated and most have been forced, inticed, pushed and hornswaggled into one of the government’s plans - that’s what the “transition” is about
Obamunism.
