Krauthammer: US 'may be ready' for government-run universal healthcare




Quote
Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer said the lasting effect of Obamacare, even if it does implode as Republicans predict, is that it may have led the public to embrace the idea of government-run universal healthcare.

For every £2 earned above £100,000, £1 of the personal allowance is lost. This means for incomes between £100,001 and £120,000 the marginal income tax rate is 60%

If you like Brit style healthcare, you're gonna love Brit style taxation.  This is the price you'll pay for your 'right' to healthcare.

If you think the debt is exploding now, wait until national healthcare arrives(if it does)

If I were so inclined, I'd bet not one of these fools understands the difference between health care and health insurance.

Usually like Krauthammer and I did not hear him on this but it's wrong.  The same people who worship Obama and want the government to take care of everything .... even those people didn't like Obamacare because it DID NOT WORK.

And the healthcare plan submitted by Ryan/Trump didn't pass because it included too much Obamacare.

Another plan should be submitted soon ... a conservative plan.  Then we'll see more and we'll know more.
