I’m amazed that day after day, week after week, liberal Democratic leaders who do not have to stand for re-election letting out the secret they believe that the only real solution is a “single payer” system. I’ve seen Howard Dean claim it is the only real solution on CNBC, Elliot Spitzer the same on MSNBC, and now Ted Kennedy telling it to anyone who will listen.
Why I’m so amazed is that all of the contortions the President and liberals in Congress are going through to hide their true intentions of a “single payer”, Canadian or Great Britain style system, are nothing more than a political kabuki dance, yet no one asks them about such claims. All of this discussion of public vs. private, taxes vs. savings is nothing more than smoke screen to hide their true beliefs, because they know that if they came out with such a plan it would be dead on arrival.
Not that any of that amazes me, it’s just the brazenness of the unelected liberals. The real way to defeat this is to go after Dean, Spitzer and any others why make such a claim, much in the way the Dems claim Limbaugh speaks for the Republicans. Use their quotes to question the elected politicians, lawmakers, commentators and party leaders to go the on the record with a response. It is the only way to get them to face their true beliefs (even if we already know).

I have asked at least 5 times in the last 3 months
Dave_in_Fla (Diary) Monday, July 20th at 11:48AM EST (link)There is a liberal trope, where they will say the following in speeches among themselves, “the inherent advantages of a single payer system”.
My question is, “what advantages?” I’ve offered this as a serious question, and truly would like a liberal to explain it to me. What advantage does a single-payer system provide?
To date, no one has even tried to answer, my question gets ignored.
“If they were merely incompetent, then at least SOME of their actions would have been to the benefit of the country.” – Joe McCarthy
The advantage from a lib point of view
bk (Diary) Monday, July 20th at 11:54AM EST (link)is that under single payer the government gets to control every aspect of health care. Any “problems” after that will have the solution of “we need to ‘invest’ more money in the system”.
We have our cheerleaders of single-payer here in Texas
Richard Mullins (Diary) Monday, July 20th at 11:55AM EST (link)Just look at all the State reps like Garrett Coleman and others that want us to expand SCHIP. They keep giving the same tired argument that because we are 49th out of 50 in insuring children, we need more money for it. Advocates for it are saying that cutting it makes the case for Universal health care more necessary.
