Rush was RIGHT that if they partially overturn obamacare that is would be a good ‘set up’ for single-payer....
IT’S CALLED MEDICARE AND MEDICAID.
Obamacare expanded medicaid to everyone with low income and built up SCHIP to OVER the median income, and pulled Medicare down to 55 AND put kids on parents health insurance AND with that added burden gave employers the ‘option’ to get taxed to dump employees into the ‘exchange’.
All this coercion and subsidies is without the individual mandate. All the Democrats have to do is expand medicare and medicaid to cover ‘everyone’ and squeeze the regulations so hard that noboby can afford private health insurance and the whole industry is killed off.
They will never have the votes for single payer, but the frog is getting slowly boiled, where most Americans will be on the govt health insurance plan in one way or another.
Single payer will be billed as ‘simpler’ than the complex system we have today, so it WILL be the left’s “solution” to the messed up system that Obama and the Democrats have created (with or without the partial repeal by SCOTUS).
Only one way to avoid this: Complete 100% Obamacare repeal.
Kill it off fully and 100%.
