SINGLE PAYER - NATIONALIZED HEALTH CARE

“If I were designing a system from scratch, I would probably go ahead with a single-payer system,” Obama told some 1,800 people at a town-hall style meeting on the economy.
A single-payer system would eliminate private insurance companies and put a Medicare-like system into place where the government pays all health-care bills with tax dollars. Barak Obama, Aug 19, 2008

But Obama repeated that he rejects an immediate shift to a single-payer system. “Given that a lot of people work for insurance companies, a lot of people work for HMOs. You’ve got a whole system of institutions that have been set up,” he said at a roundtable discussion with women Monday morning after a voter asked, “Why not single payer?”

“People don’t have time to wait,” Obama said. “They need relief now. So my attitude is let’s build up the system we got, let’s make it more efficient, we may be over time—as we make the system more efficient and everybody’s covered—decide that there are other ways for us to provide care more effectively.”

I am not advocating a single payer system, Barak Obama, today in front of the AMA.

Well, which is it? The single payer system is complete Nationalization of the Health Care system. And that is what he was touting on the campaign trail.

But now, in from of the AMA, he shies away from that, because that is not popular with the AMA.

Single Payer plan is the system they have in England and Canada. He said toady that it works pretty well in other countries. I guess it works pretty well, if you don't live in those countries.

The Canadian and British people hate the system. The government regulates who gets what care. You can die waiting for a necessary operation. You can die because the government does not think it is cost effective to treat you.

Here is where everything seems to get murky. Our Dear Leaders plan for the Government Health Insurance Company, to cover the millions who don't currently have a plan. It sounds a lot like the single pay system.

And it will undercut the current Insurance Companies. The government can set whatever price it wants for policies, because it is funded by the tax payer. I see this as the beginning of a plan to instill the single payer plan, and Nationalized Health Care.

Once the Private Insurance Companies start to go under, because they won't be able to compete, the government will swallow them up, and turn them into single payer plan companies.

The man is smart, and he has a vision, and he knows how to achieve it. He says his plan is not Nationalized Health Care, but it will be. First he has to get rid of the Private Insurance Companies, and this is the first step.
