When does that start?
Right now they are crying out for Dems to be recalled,
Where's the polls saying Americans trust Dems to impose single payer?
When Hillary! kicks off her 2016 campaign. She'll be the "reasonable" alternative to Obama.
“Where’s the polls saying Americans trust Dems to impose single payer?”
Good point, for now. But keep in mind that the polls clearly showed Americans’ disdain for Obamacare before it was rammed down our throats.
At any rate, I’m guessing you’ll start hearing about how those evil insurance companies (Big Insurance) are inflating health care costs with their evil profit motives (high compensation packages for Big Insurance execs, etc). That if we simply cut out the middle man and “self-insure” as a nation (nationalize the industry), we could bring costs to the consumer down to a more affordable level...blah, blah, blah. They will say, yes, it will increase the cost of government but “you like your Medicare, don’t you?”.
It will take a few years, but Progressives believe that those in favor of single-payor health care will increase to the tipping point, thereby increasing the number of congressmen who share that vision, and voila!...nationalized health care will pass or so they believe.
Unfortunately for them, the fiasco with the federal exchange website set them back but they believe only temporarily. They have been working toward this for decades and they look at it over the long term, with temporary setbacks being only bumps in the road.
I hate being such a skeptic, but that’s the way I see it with my crystal ball. I hope I’m dead wrong.
