#1 Just like AlanC called it yesterday - cripple the insurance & healthcare delivery markets enough so single payer can be rammed through...

#2 This is right in line with the fascist principles of government control of economic activity.

The government doesn't need to own it all as in socialism or communism it just needs to control it all through regulations and laws, handouts and extortion payments.

Read your Mussolini folks cause that's where all this is headed.

#3 what else will we be compelled to buy in the future?
everyone needs reliable transportation and "affordable" housing as well as "nutritious" food. I'd say those are all plum for the picking. waiting for the war on alcohol, like the one on cigs. we will be made to purchase other goods and services.
first auto insurance, home owners insurance, now health insurance, how many other insurance products can be force fed?
