The globalist oligarchy wants the Republic to have a single payer (read government funded and thus completely controlled) healthcare system. It is part of the final solution to ending the Republic. I figure this portends we have at most eight to ten years until final collapse. Since the oligarchs own both parties, this ‘heathcare’ scam will not be repealed or repaired. It will be allowed to do what it was designed to do, create so much chaos and nager that the sheeple will beg for a single payer system.
That was Harry Reid said, ‘it was a step to the single payer’. I think your explanation is as close as it gets.
