There is no question that total federal control of healthcare is the target.
A recent Wall Street Journal headline read, “Democrats lower their sights on healthcare changes.” That’s inaccurate. Democrats have not lowered their sights. The target is the same: single payer, federal healthcare. Rather, they changed their weapon of choice, from their highly publicized, overt and obvious takeover plan, H.R. 1384, named Medicare-for-All, to a covert, piece-meal strategy called “public option.” Aiming at same target, but with silenced scatter gun rather than howitzer.
There is no question that total federal control of healthcare is the target. Every “fix” of healthcare has expanded Washington control over both financing and medical decision making. You are not in charge, Washington is. After all, Washington is responsible for healthcare, isn’t it?
No, certainly not! Not if you recall the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Following the expansion of Medicaid eligibility under the Affordable Care Act, 68.8 million Americans, 21 percent of the nation, are now enrolled in Medicaid. Add 51 million in Medicare, 9.6 million in Tricare (federal military insurance), and 9.6 million in Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to see that 139 million Americans, 42 percent of the populace, have all their health care decisions made directly by Washington.
The 179 million with private insurance have their health care decisions -- both what care, when, and how much expended -– made by insurance companies. As these companies and their contracted providers are governed by federal rules and regulations, Washington indirectly controls 54 percent of Americans’ healthcare. Indirect control in not acceptable to progressives. It must be total control, all Americans.

If the elitists control your healthcare they control you. Anyone who believes that elitists care about anything besides power, like your health, are delusional.
Who was it that said State run Health care is the crown Jewel of socialism? Lenin? Hitler? Mao?
Forgive the off-topic swerve, and from a firearms ignoramus, but a “silenced scatter-gun”?
Is that possible?
