Democrats are backing away from the so-called public option in healthcare that would lead to a total government takeover of the nation's healthcare system but this is a ruse, commentator Ann Coulter said Thursday on the "Glenn Beck Program."
Democrats are now touting healthcare co-ops which amount to the same thing because they would also lead to nationalization of the U.S. healthcare system, she explained. Said Coulter:
As long as they have government control of medical care, you're not going to be able to buy it like you buy everything else, like you buy computers and milk and dog-walking services and manicures, and we don't have a crisis in any of those things because we don't have massive government regulations over those things. Let the free market operate and medical care will get better and costs will come down, as the free market has historically proven to do in every possible area of commerce.
