Krauthammer: US 'may be ready' for government-run universal healthcare
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 3/31/17 | Eddie Scarry

In a column published Thursday night, Krauthammer said the GOP, having failed to "repeal and replace" Obamacare, could make the attempt again in the coming months, but said people may reject the attempt because they've been conditioned to see healthcare as an entitlement.

"A broad national consensus is developing that health care is indeed a right," he wrote. "This is historically new. And it carries immense implications for the future. It suggests that we may be heading inexorably to a government-run, single-payer system. It's what Barack Obama once admitted he would have preferred but didn't think the country was ready for. It may be ready now."

His ability to read what the public wants is evident in his long time insistence that Trump would never be elected President.

I agree. The Govt has done an expert job of running the post office and other agencies, why not let the Govt run health care. Excellent, Charles!!

Government run health care will be the first step to destroy America. It will start the process for a dictatorship.

this was the dems plan from the beginning. if you talked to any democrat that was being honest to them selves and others that were not a part of the idiot branch of the party they would of admitted that they did not think Obama care was workable but its failure would force a one payer government take over of healthcare.

Krauthammer is a neocon, so I’m not surprised.

Ok, then.

Have the states pass the amendment giving the feds control over healthcare.

Just like when the people came to a “broad national consensus” that the federal government should have control over alcohol.

An amendment was passed.

This started the era of prohibition.

No amendment - no legal federal control!

These guys all defended Roberts’ decision, and they said the legislature would repeal Obamacare.

Yes. Obamacare was SO GREAT, that the American people are “now ready” for “government run Healthcare”.

Watch for the excoriation of conservatives who oppose single payer when the convoluted goose-stepping starts when Trump proposes it.

Oh yes, comrade we have reviewed your citizenship participation record and found you insufficiently enthusiastic about our brilliant government programs. Therefore, you lack priority for your needed heart surgery. You may reapply next year if your scores have improved.

“These guys all defended Roberts’ decision, and they said the legislature would repeal Obamacare.”

Their reality is often the opposite of what they profess to believe in.
