I’ll give him credit for at least being an honest socialist. Single payer (i.e. 100% government control) has always been a goal of the “universal health care” crowd. The monstrosity we currently have as law is designed to push all other alternatives out of the market and make it single payer by default.
This will help him with a lot of voters. We need to realize that approximately 42% of the people in this country want socialized medicine.
