Health Care: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid admitted last week that ObamaCare was just a first move toward a fully government-run single-payer system. This should not be a surprise. Some of us knew it all along." ObamaCare, we warned, "seems to have started the process."
Even before ObamaCare was signed into law, we told anyone who'd listen it was a con to dupe the public. "Once the new program is finished wrecking what remains of the private health insurance industry — as it ultimately will — we'll be stuck with the government declaring that 'the market doesn't work' and forcing all of us into a single-payer government plan," we wrote in March 2010.
We weren't alone. Many others made the same observation. The Democrats never denied that ObamaCare was the first step toward a single-payer system. How could they? It actually includes an incentive for states to develop their own single-payer systems. But they never fully admitted it, either, though they've never tried too hard to hide their hatred for insurance companies.
Any doubt about their goal was removed last Friday, when Reid admitted the plan is to continue purging the private sector from health care. According to the Las Vegas Sun, the Nevada Democrat said on PBS' "Nevada Week in Review" that "the country has to 'work our way past' insurance-based health care."

What do we need, a billboard with flashing lights? They want full on socialized medicine, nothing less.
It should be called what it is: “socialized medical care”. “Single payer system” is just another one of those endless left euphemisms, like “reproductive rights”.
Indeed he was.
Agree and I look forward to the day I can piss on his grave.
reid is a mafia based communist.
Take 14% +++ out of the economy & then try to tell us all that ‘the economy is improving’!!!
What a bunch of liars.
The Dim Bulb From Searchlight is dumb enough to admit it publicly.
Duh. Their endgame is Soviet America.
IMO, the insurance companies can put a stop to this if
they'd just make insurance more affordable.They need
to have policies that the average Joe and Jane can afford.
