Why Are We Still Talking About Single Payer?

Loading

I’ve got to admit, I was a bit surprised when the 3/25 edition of The Daily Skirmish hit my Inbox. Apparently, despite every bureaucratic abuse we’ve seen at the hands of our health care system over the last two years of Two Weeks To FlattenThe Curve TM. The Radical Left is continuing their unrelenting efforts to destroy America’s health care system. It’s just disturbing how many examples there are:

Of course, when the legislative date rape known as Obamacare was forced into the American people, one Leftist even let slip that the bill was about control, not health. While nothing should surprise me anymore, I was genuinely surprised that anyone who has been even remotely paying attention for the last two years would think that Single Payer would in any way, shape, or form appeal to any Normals. I’m not going to go into the many times and ways the bureaucracy got things wrong (two weeks, no masks/wear three masks, stop exercising / going to church /stay isolated) and instead just focus on the reasons we’ve been given to mistrust the people who want to want the power to decide who lives an who dies:

Let the unvaccinated die?

Unvaccinated denied organ transplant

No jab no service

Unvaccinated should not be allowed to leave their homes

Unvaccinated can’t see their family members

To any Normals reading this, you’re nodding your head in agreement at this Captain Obvious moment you’ve probably already hit on yourself. This is the important part for sharing this post – do not waste your time sharing this with anyone but the Normals. You can pass this along to any of your Lefty pals, and while they might deny the premise, deep down they love the idea of having the power to decide who lives an who dies. Or, as they like to call it, “managed health care” or “bending the curve”. Don’t waste your time.

But spread the word among the Normals. We just got a taste of what The Radical Left wants to give us and give it good and hard.

Rather than wake anyone up, the left cheered on the government heavy-handed treatment of vaccinations. It didn’t matter what hazards the vaccine might pose for a few, how unnecessary it was to those that had had previous infection, how ineffective the vaccines became against the variants, because the government said to get the vaccine, you better By God GET the f**king vaccine! Government knows best, not matter how stupid or driven by politics they prove themselves to be.

The Trump administration erred to the side of extreme caution and, in a few months, decided based on what had been known about the virus that the economy could begin reopening. But Democrats liked the power to control who worked, who didn’t, who had to pay their bills, who didn’t, use the “emergency” to dole out pork for votes and to blame the political opposition for every death (until they were in control). Just like border security, we can’t count on a logical, intelligent, pro-American administration every 4 years, so we can’t hand our health care over to the federal government.

You sound like a person who doesn’t have to worry about getting medical bills paid. Good for you.

You sound like a person who doesn’t have to worry about getting denied medical care by a bureaucrat. 

How does what I wrote convey that idea?

a person who doesn’t have to worry about getting medical bills paid. 

That’s literally every legal and illegal person in the U.S.

Your thesis is that nobody in the U.S. needs to worry about paying their medical bills? How do you figure?

Not a thesis.

It’s fact.

Nobody in the US needs to pay their medical bills.

Nobody in the US needs to pay their medical bills.

I don’t understand. Would you please explain?

How so?

How so?

It doesn’t seem as if a person who was unable to pay his or her own medical bills would be quite so cavalier with the idea of dispensing with government-paid or -provided options.

The US government welfare system has incentivized bad life choices…and they’ll pay for it to make sure you never, ever get out of the cycle of poverty and keep pulling the level for the “promise” that some random old white guy who is a Democrat will solve your problems by giving you more free money.

Democrats use Black Americans today to pick votes instead of picking cotton.

Slavery, either way.

I see you are unfamiliar with people who look at things based on what is right, wrong, just and unjust good or bad. Before COVID and the Abysmal Care Act, my perspective was derived from seeing how the VA operates; the ultimate government funded single-payer healthcare provided in the US. It was a catastrophe, consistently failing those who needed it the most. It survived because in government, there is no accountability for failure.

Then came Obamacare. If you recall, the promise made repeatedly was that “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance. PERIOD.” The first thing to go was the insurance people had and liked, along with the doctors that accepted that insurance. Because, the government told us, they were baaaaaaad. See, they didn’t force people to pay for drug rehab to people who didn’t abuse drugs or maternity coverage to people who no longer have babies. It also drove health care costs THROUGH THE ROOF, unless you were destitute (which was already covered by Medicaid).

Then comes COVID. Lockdowns, masks, vaccines, effective treatments banned, expensive treatments mandated and government officials mandating the elderly die in their nursing homes by sending infected patients into them. Politics and ignorance drives the agenda, not “science” or compassion.

I don’t give a shit WHO pays for bad health care. I don’t want it. If you don’t understand this, please have an adult explain it to you.
