Tonight in Dallas Obama calls PPACA "universal health care"

Universal health care programs — also called single-payer systems — consist of a single entity, likely the national government or some branch of it, paying for and providing care for all citizens. Canada has such a system as do several European nations.

Some suspicious conservatives have said the Affordable Care Act was designed all along to be a step toward universal, single-payer health care.

Blasts from the Past (June 2013):

Community Organizations: Obama’s corrupt power grab

Obamacare outsources the important job of enrolling the uninsured in health plans, taking it from government and entrusting it to community organizations. Why outsource? Because it eliminates public scrutiny, accountability, and the necessity to be nonpartisan. Community activists can say and do things that government employees can’t, such as urging people to register as Democrats.

Claim: ‘Unions May Get Health Law Tax Relief

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/claim-unions-may-get-health-law-tax-relief_766341.html

Unions would get the same subsidies like those in the individual insurance exchange. It is estimated to cost $600 million that the unions will not be charged. Obama/Sillybus slipped in a regulation that is so specific that it only impacts big union.
