When Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) announced the launch of H.R.1384, “Medicare for All,” on the Capitol steps on Feb. 27, 2019, it was a major step toward a socialist America.
Jayapal was surrounded by more than 100 supporters, many from groups such as National Nurses United, the Center for Popular Democracy, Our Revolution, Coalition of Labor Union Women, and the Labor Campaign for Single Payer.
Appropriately, all of the organizations represented are controlled, or at least heavily influenced, by America’s largest Marxist organization, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which can quite rightly claim credit for the socialist single-payer movement euphemistically referred to as “Medicare for All,” now reaching a peak across the United States.
For decades, even most Democratic representatives shied away from any mention of government-run health care. But now, more than 100 Democratic congressmembers have signed on to a bill that would eventually eliminate the private health insurance industry and give the federal government near total control over every American citizen’s health care.
What happened to cause such a massive shift?
Quentin Young
All this has been a long time in the making. The roots of H.R.1384 can be traced back to the 1930s in South Side, Chicago, when a young Hyde Park High School student named Quentin Young first joined the Young Communist League.
After World War II, Young graduated from Northwestern Medical School and did his residency at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. Young joined the American Medical Association and served as chairman of the Department of Internal Medicine at Cook County, where he helped establish the Department of Occupational Medicine. Later, Young became a clinical professor of Preventive Medicine and Community Health at the University of Illinois Medical Center and senior attending physician at Michael Reese Hospital.

PING!
Thats the US.
Elsewhere it goes back to Bismarck, in the German social legislation of the 1880’s. The rest of Europe copied Germany, more or less, in its general principles. I would not call this communist. Indeed this is a case where the arbitrary political divisions we use are inadequate. Francisco Franco for instance created the Spanish universal health insurance system.
Britain actually had and still has the most socialist system in Europe by far.
I certainly hope that this idiocy does not become law. It will give away money I worked for all my life to illegal scum sneaking into the U.S. to get on the Uncle Sugar gravy train for life, filling their fat bellies and taking up ERs on our dime and our time.
Look people
No one I repeat no one should depend on the government or doctors for their health and medical care
Take care of your own health through your own diet intake of proper fluid’s exercise and fresh air
You should not go to see a doctor unless you have a serious medical problems such as a broken bone or serious internal pain
This illuminates this whole argument about healthcare
Trevor: Don’t forget that Young’s fellow CPUSA member, Milton Cohen (who later also joined the DSA), was in the room at Bill Ayers/Bernadine Dohrn’s house (both were Weathermen Marxist terrorists - WUO)at which Obama staged a little Marxist coup against fellow CP supporter Alice Palmer (a state senator who had given up her seat, at first, and then wanted to run for a third term).
Obama and his band of reds prevented Palmer from getting the nomination and that was the start of Comrade O’s rise to political fame and infamy.
Young’s group PNHP, which is listed at your site www.keywiki.org, has information about some CPUSA/Marxist leaders of it that Young brought in to the group. I remember a name of Kimmelman plus a woman as being CP members or so closely associated with it that it didn’t make any difference.
Also, somewhere in KW should be a story which included the California Nurses Association/Union, a member of the NNU, both far-left, Marxist unions. Two of the CNA/Union were members of the CPUSA and wrote for their newspapers for decades. Carl Bloice and Chuck Idelson were these CP writers and Union spokesmen/communications leaders/directors, or something like that.
Quentin Young was also Obama’s personal physician for many decades, one of the inhabitants of Obama’s ritzy neighbor “hold” in Chicago (his house actually being owned by jailbird Rezko and one of his go-betweens. Other neighbors included Louis Farrakhan, Rabbi Wolf (a hardcore leftist well known in Chicago red circles), Ayer/Dohrn, perhaps Don Rose and his Soviet-asset, CPUSA member David Simon Cantor (he died in the late 80’s or early 90’s, and was a political kingpin maker in Democrat Chicago politics).
Obama’s top political advisor David Axelrod, wrote some articles for the Rose/Cantor neighborhood red rag roughly entitled the Kenoak-Hyde Park Herald before he “got” a job at the Chicago Tribune. Reportedly Cantor’s influence helped grease the skids into it a good bit.
More accurate information about Cantor etc is also found at Loudon’s “keywiki.org” site with a lot of details the mainstream media would never print, and with good reason.
If they had, Obama’s Marxist buddies would have been exposed and he might never have gotten Alice Palmer’s old seat nomination for the Ill. State Senate.
There is no way, today, to get away from Obama’s communist comrades and helpers throughout his political career, which included the creation of the Marxist, destructive “Obamacare” health control program which now being succeeded in the Democrats’ Marxist health control legislation/political platforms as the “new Marxist Medicare” program.
The mentioned Rep. Payapal (D-Wash) is part of the new “Marxist-Islamist Alliance” in Congress, which included the notorious anti-Israel, anti-American dynamic duo of Tlaib and Omar, plus some Marxist fool woman from Massachusetts with a name like Amalla. This group, aka the “Four Marxist Subversives of Congress”, are and will be behind a lot of the communist-based “control” legislation being put forth by the Democrat Party and its increasingly openly Marxist, totalitarian wing, the Congressional Progressive Caucus, aided and abetted by the twin “Marxist-racist” “Congressional Black Caucus, which is also a major factor in the Progressive Caucus.
Name a subject and the Marxist Democrats will introduce old Soviet-type legislation to seize control of literally every aspect of American life (and esp. the way of life that conservatives value under the Constitution).
The Reds in the Democrat’s political whorehouse have just shown their hands in the recent Democrat primarily elections, and not surprisingly old Nazi-aiding KAPO teenager George Soros is now the money bagman for the harcore Marxists in the Democrat Party.
Time for a congressional investigation into their communist/totalitarian collusion. You’d be surprised what red worms you can find if you turn over the right rocks in the slime pools of the Left.
Perhaps this political whore can test drive her uterus in a Venezuelan OBGYN.
Wasn’t Quentin Young mentioned a few times in another recent thread?

“I can remember being one of a small group of people who came to Bill Ayers’ house to learn that Alice Palmer was stepping down from the senate and running for Congress,” said Dr. Quentin Young, a prominent Chicago physician and advocate for single-payer health care, of the informal gathering at the home of Ayers and his wife, Dohrn. “[Palmer] identified [Obama] as her successor.”
Quentin David Young (September 5, 1923 – March 7, 2016) was a member of the Young Communist League USA in pre-WW2 Chicago - while attending Hyde Park High School and was close to the Communist Party USA at least until the early 1970s. In May 1992 Dan Cantor held a New Party fund raising meeting in the Chicago home of Quentin Young, “with half a dozen good people present”.

I'm 75....bp 168/65....5'3" 118 lbs....eat good....feel good...I can take my own BP....weigh myself...measure my own height....and no Medicare doctor collects.
We're treated like cattle.
Programs enacted like social security, Medicare, Medicaid where put in place with good intentions and bastradized and looted by the left. The initial design in the lefts mind was to create these programs as the base and as time progressed move them into a broader program that would eventually end up as a socialist staple.

Medicare Far All BUT GRANDMA
Medicare For All Illegals
Medicare For All Except You
‘’’’That’s where the United States is now. The DSA and its friends in Congress have so butchered the finest health system in the world, so driven affordable care beyond the reach of millions of Americans, that government-run health care now looks like a viable option to many.’’’
Is there an alternative?
Of course it’s a communist idea. It’s government-run health insurance and healthcare with a deliberately misleading name.
They now take $134.50 right out of my SS check every month and it goes up regularly.
So if these idiots think it will be free, they're full of cr**. Not after I paid into Medicare since it began.
What they're really after is Medicaid....and that's already available to the "needy".
Ageism pure and simple. Medicare was for people who were no longer working and earning and at the same time more susceptible to disease and injury. It was to protect them and their families from over-the-top medical costs that would bankrupt them.
It is easy to use, so that older people will have no problems keeping up with it.
A different era, when people loved and protected the elderly.
A nation of obese, mentally ill, addicts needs medicare for all.
I see you found it...here’s a Keywiki excerpt:

Spokesmen for the committee sponsoring the banquet told the Daily World that many who had delayed in getting reservations had to be turned away. Veterans of the working class movement said they could not remember an occasion bringing together such a broad spectrum of workers, trade unionists and professionals, in a tribute to a Communist leader.[11]

Student Union - ASU
Quentin Young was listed as a member of the National Executive Committee of the ASU Elected at the Fourth Annual Convention - 1938, from the “High School” representatives. “Quentin Young, Hyde Park H. S., Chicago”...The NCPAC was cited by Congress as a Communist Party USA (CPUSA), political action front, and was featured in a number of very large and detailed volumes of Appendix IX, which were ordered destroyed by the Democrats in Congress because it showed that a significant number of Democrats were very active supporters of CPUSA fronts and causes during the 1930’s through 1944...
