Well, don’t say we didn’t predict this reality. The Democrats are smartly not waiting for any recovery efforts by Republicans; and immediately following the failure of President Trump’s healthcare repeal and replacement approach, Senator Bernie Sanders begins putting their ‘single provider’ alternative together.
The strategy is, unfortunately, brilliant. When Obamacare further collapses, and all Americans are being further crushed by the skyrocketing costs, at exactly the moment when the American electorate are at their most frustrated and everyone is in crisis mode – whammo, here’s the solution.
All of the previous opposition to single-provider has been kicked out of the Democrat party. [Blue Dogs Dispatched] The DNC will unify, as one single voting bloc without a single representative in divergence, behind the Sanders proposal.
As ObamaCare explodes, the factional infighting between the purists in Hillary’s Favorite Republican Caucus and various GOPe proposals will continue. Directly into this void of leadership will flow the single-provider plan, just as the Democrats and the coordinated media messaging tell the American electorate the solution is right there:
“Medicare for all”.
The only thing the voter needs to do is get rid of the intransigent republicans and give them back the house in 2018 and maybe the White House in 2020. The Democrat call will be for a deafening mandate. Every activist and social justice group will respond to the thunder-drums.
In the unseen background, the activist Labor Unions will go along with the Democrat plan. So too will Tom Donohue and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (GOPe).
AFSCME, SEIU, AFL-CIO will go along because employer removed health insurance premium costs leave more room for lucrative labor contracts. Tom Donohue will go along because the cost of Healthcare will remain off the ledgers of multinational Wall Street corporations and global bankers.
The Health Care providers and networks of Big Health Care and Big Pharma will go along, because the Democrat plan will apply the same approach as the Industrial Military Complex to Healthcare. Expansive crony-healthcare contracts provided at the public coffers, with unlimited taxpayer financing therein. Everyone can get rich.
Promises of big multi-billion dollar government contracts will go to those within the industry who will sign up to help the DNC execute the 2018 election plan. Billions will be spent with projections of hundreds of billions in later returns on investment.
This is the extremely predictable end result of the opposition put forth last week by Hillary’s Favorite Caucus HFC (aka House Freedom Caucus).
I hate democrats with the force of a bazillion super-nova’s, because their schemes are infinitely easier to pull off than oppose. However, this ‘Ice-Cream-For-Dinner‘ was entirely predictable. Thanks to the #NeverTrumpers, this was almost too easy.
Once the government is responsible for providing all the care,… well, a few decades from now, our kids will meet “The Minders”.
…"That was easy… Now, let me tell you about Muh Constitution"…
Ha ha! Insanity is doing more of the same thing even when it’s obviously a failure
It doesn't matter; Trump is president and no matter what some posters keep posting here, President Trump is NOT for "SINGLE PAYER" and has a veto, over any Bill that Congress sends him. Also, the GOP holds both Houses and this ctrap is easily buried and never brought to the floor; let alone become a passed Bill.
Yup....I like Sundance, but sometimes he really just slings it, like this.
“Complete unconstitutional government takeover of healthcare as a necessary step to complete abandonment of the Constitution and government takeover of free enterprise.”
That’s been the plan all along. Obamacare (”Obamabuse”) was just meant to be the midwife to give birth to this monstrosity.
This will be THE issue of the 2018 campaign.
And it will prevail.
I'm now having second thoughts about him.
Remember when it was all supposed to have been debated and designed under the watchful eye of C-SPAN? That didn't happen.
Remember when SanFranNan said we need to pass it before we could find out what's in it? Remember the "deeming and scheming" to get it out of the House?
Remember how it was designed to fail under the concept of Cloward-Piven to 'overwhelm the system', drive it into failure under Obama, teeing it up for Hillary to transform it into single-payer-socialized medicine?
Remember when Roberts took the law to the workshop and figured out how to morph it from a mandate to a tax? Hammer to fit, paint to match?
This was a dog, a pig, and a turkey all rolled into a feces sandwich.
It will take some time to undo, and it is being un-done, for the most part, in "regular order" - a concept unknown to the Marxist-Socialist-Leftist (but that is redundant).
No it won’t!
He’s ok. He sometimes can be bombastic & overwrought....like here.
AHCA was a slower train to the same destination.
The biggest challenge to this sort of thing is that it has had disastrous results in every state where it was adopted in some form or another -- including Bernie Sanders' home state of Vermont, which dropped their "Green Mountain Care" in 2014 after only three years.
Sending Bernie Sanders out to promote single-payer health care is like sending Mitt Romney out to overturn Obamacare.
So they’re admitting that obamacare isn’t working?
This. +1.
This is where we are headed and I dont give a rats rear end what anyone says. If the republiCONS dont get their act together and put up legislation to correct this in the next two years, they will lose the congress and we will have a lame duck president.
I will bet a beer to anyone here that they will eff up the tax overhaul also.
They do NOT want to do anything.
It really is not a fair bet to CONS will eff up X.
That’s all they do.
this was there plan to begin with. the democrats always planed on Obama care failing miserably and then replacing it with a national healthcare system. my guess is that this plan was formulated around the time Obama care was passed and all that they are doing is tweaking it for the political realities unforeseen seven years ago.
Vermont abandoned single-payer health care because they finally figured out that their state budget is something like $4.9 billion per year and single payer would cost $4.6 billion....nearly double the state budget.
Taxes would have had to sky rocket to pay for this nightmare.
They broke the health system to crap by being partially in charge of it, so let’s put them fully in charge of it!
YEAH!
(of course, they will still be exempt from it.)
This. Way overplaying whatever hand he/she has. Moderates were going to vote against this bill, as well, but no mention of them. Agenda much?
