The Democrats I am referring to are the Democratic leaders like Obama, Reid, Pelosi, etc Why are they not honest about their intention to destroy private insurance? Well, it could be because they know that an overwhelming majority of Americans like their coverage and want to keep it. So they have chosen a dishonest stealth strategy, claiming they want to 'encourage competition' while working to destroy private insurance. Democratic proposals to allow people to wait til they are sick to enroll in health insurance are simply ridiculous. And Democratic claims that it won't destroy insurance companies are made by politicians who know full well that they are lying. My question to you is: since you have chosen to be honest, how can you stomach being led by those who lie about their intentions? How can you support them? My challenge to you was to admit that your leaders are liars. I did not say that you were. Yes, I know you personally are for single payer.

It is by far the most efficient way to ensure all Americans with the lowest overhead. I've written this on my blog, I've talked about on the radio both on my show and others. I've even given speeches on it. There should be no surprise that the most aggressive position on healthcare is a single-payer program (government payer). I believe in a program where everybody is in. This will assure that everybody pays the lowest cost possible in their premium. Your question, your supposition, doesn't make any sense. Admitting that I'm for single-payer is like admitting that I'm a black trauma surgeon. Everyone who's been following me and this blog knows it to be a fact. I can even admit that I love my wife -- is there anything else you like me to admit like breathing and oxygen is good? Thanks for your comments.

What do you think will happen to the dollar amount claims/enrollee? I'd love to wait to buy car insurance until I wreck the car, but it doesn't work that way. Should my wife wait til I'm dead to get a life insurance policy for me? c'mon now. You know the Democrats simply are trying to destroy the insurance industry to pave the way for single payer. Admit it. oh come on now
