You think they’ll stop with health care? They want everythin, including your soul.

Apparently the fact that it can’t be paid for won’t stop them.

It's not a single-payer system. It is a two-tiered system. In England and other European countries, there is a public health system with public doctors and hospitals, and there is a private health system with private doctors and hospitals.

Everyone is entitled to service in the public system, but those who can afford it are free to pay for the private care which is usually much better and faster.

We would end up with the same two tier system here. The rich would still have their own private doctors and hospitals, while the rest of us middle class and below would end up in a clogged up public system where we wait 6 months for a doctor appointment, see whatever doctor is on duty that day, and are put on a list for hospital services.

Will the socialist liberals enjoy waiting seven months for a CT scan like I heard a Canadian physician say?

Canada had abolished the private system work-around but their Supreme Court eventually overturned that.

Correct. But I suspect that the Dems Socialized Medicine scheme would totally outlaw private insurance, like Canada. Trump was able to get private insurance available again, but only in 3 month increments and only in the states that Allow it. Right now in AZ, there is ‘Marketplace’ insurance (read Obamacare) and ONE insurer that offers private short term, insurance. The Dems have vowed to overturn that.....that is why their taking the House is so dangerous (well, at least ONE reason). I hope not enough squishy Republicans vote for this Bill and Trump can veto it, if the Senate also goes south.

Our health care system is built on the expectation that a person can force other people to pay his or her medical bills.

I can guarantee you that we'll end up with government-run health care simply because this idiocy is unsustainable.

I also know there will be almost no political opposition to such a scheme because there's plenty of support for some of the most idiotic provisions of ObamaCare right here on FreeRepublic.

There are too many wealthy people in the U.S. for private healthcare to be outlawed. Further, hopefully such a ban on private enterprise would not pass Constitutional muster at the Supreme Court.

In any case, there are too many rich leftists who still want their private doctors.

I recommend that we test the single-payer health care system on government employees for five to ten years to see if it works prior to inflicting it on the rest of the country.

One other perverse legacy of WWI?

Western Governments learned they could finance wars and vast collectivist social-engineering programs with completely printed, fiat money and the massive debt it brings, courtesy of their national central banks.

And that’s why you will have single-payer health-care forced on you soon.

They won’t even rest after single payer healthcare. Until they overcome all of the inequities that the unjust God has startled this world with their work will never stop.

We won’t stop them if we don’t stop them from stealing elections.

Keep in mind that "medical tourism" is one of the fastest-growing industries in some countries. Anyone with the means to pay for their travel will find their health care somewhere else if they can't get it here.

Even WITHOUT private insurance outlawed here, and you have American doctors setting up shop in places like Costa Rica, Brazil, India and Singapore to serve a wealthy American clientele.

We've been testing it on Senior Citizens for five decades.

After 2010, private healthcare insurance was basically outllawed. You could only get it through your employer. If you were an entrepreneur or worked at a place that didn’t offer healthcare, you were forced to buy Obamacare, with a hefty ‘fine’ if you didn’t have any healthcare insurance. My brother, who lived right on the edge of financial failure, had to pay the fine a few times. Other years he was enough under the poverty line that he wasn’t fined. He was a Bernie supporter who wanted Government healthcare so he didn’t have to pay for it. He died relatively young as he never went to the doctor.

Actually, they won’t rest until most of us are dead, the rest in chains.

No, private healthcare insurance was not outlawed. What was passed into law was what the minimum amount of coverage had to be.

No longer could you offer just catastrophic care coverage. Your policies had to cover the entire laundry list of items in the unAffordable Care Act.

Democratic Party’s full embrace of creating socialized medical care guess they forgot how Obamacare worked out hard to find any doctor who will take it.
Democratic Party may want to take a trip to England they aren’t doing ant thing any way.
