If you ever had any doubt about what the goal of the left is during their "Long March" to a single payer healthcare system then this video is for you. This is Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky of Chicago. She's another community organizer from Obamaland.
Listen carefully to what she says. The goal of the Left is not provide healthcare for all but rather to make the current private system so unworkable and bad that consumers will beg the government to come to the rescue.
I really love the line about how confident she is that her plan is better than private healthcare. Apparently its not good enough to stand up to the competition from the private sector. If Rep. Schakowsky is successful in driving private providers out of the market in the United States, where will Canadians go for surgery? I hear India is an up and coming player in medical tourism. Get your passport ready.
Your comment that "The goal of the left is...to make the current private system so unworkable and bad that consumers will beg government to come to the rescue" is dead on.
Why else would lawmakers in NC not even bother to debate a bill (SB 725) that would greatly expand access to more affordable health care options for North Carolinians?
