I'd think of it as something more along the lines of "crony capitalism". Have you noticed how health care stocks have been performing since Obamacare was passed, and since the SCOTUS ruling?

Obamacare takes money from taxpayers (and borrows it from the Chinese) and gives it to healthcare providers.

The US ranks 34th overall in life expectancy according to the WHO, 40th according to the UN and 51st according to the CIA. All that money being spent on healthcare is going somewhere, just not into health.

Remember, only a few decades ago health care or insurance was seldom a topic of discussion. Now the central communist government has made it as important a topic as, say, Gorebal Warming.

Trickle up economics.

The higher you raise taxes on the rich to provide goods and services for the poor, the rich will bet richer and the poor will get poorer.

The wealth, money, isn’t being transferred from the middle class to the poor.

The wealth, the money paying for healthcare, is being transferred from the middle class to the top.

You can call it “crony capitalism” but there is nothing capitalistic about forcing people to dispose of their wealth, money, to purchase something with the threat of law if they don’t.

It’s National Socialism pure and simple.
