The Democrats aren't trying to hide their assault on the private sector.
They don't bother to pretend that they aren't about nationalization anymore.
From the Heritage Foundation:
Last year, then-candidate Barack Obama told a rally in Albuquerque, “If I were designing a system from scratch, I would probably go ahead with a single-payer system.” Earlier this month in Chicago, Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) told a rally of government-run health care supporters: “I know many of you here today are single payer advocates and so am I … and those of us who are pushing for a public health insurance don’t disagree with this goal. This is not a principled fight. This is a fight about strategy for getting there and I believe we will.”
The fact that the left views a public plan option as part of an unprincipled strategy to eventually achieve government-run health care is not news. That Members of Congress are now so openly admitting it, is.
...Moving all Americans into a government-run health care system will not only bankrupt our country, but will lead to less innovation in the health care sector and lower quality care for all Americans. There is an alternative. Some of which the Obama Administration even supports like removing the tax benefit of employer-sponsored health care coverage which will untie Americans health care coverage from their employers and help move the country towards a truly market based consumer driven health care model. Health care coverage can be expanded in a cost efficient manner, but only by empowering Americans to make health care decisions with their doctors.
Government-run health care is the Obama initiative that scares me more than anything else on his Leftist agenda.
Here's an example of the nightmare of such a system.
Imagine having a loved one be denied life-prolonging medication. It terrifies me.
A government-run health care system seeks to keep health care costs down by killing people.
Well, "killing" may be too harsh. I'll rephrase that.
A government-run health care system seeks to keep health care costs down by failing to prolong life and letting people die.
