Reid says Obamacare just a step toward eventual single-payer system

[Antares]

In just about seven weeks, people will be able to start buying Obamacare-approved insurance plans through the new health care exchanges.



But already, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is predicting those plans, and the whole system of distributing them, will eventually be moot.

Reid said he thinks the country has to “work our way past” insurance-based health care during a Friday night appearance on Vegas PBS’ program “Nevada Week in Review.”

“What we’ve done with Obamacare is have a step in the right direction, but we’re far from having something that’s going to work forever,” Reid said.

When then asked by panelist Steve Sebelius whether he meant ultimately the country would have to have a health care system that abandoned insurance as the means of accessing it, Reid said: “Yes, yes. Absolutely, yes.”

Correct.

Unfortunately we weren’t able to implement a single-payer system sooner due to the fear and ignorance of the reactionary partisan right.

Conservatism is truly a blight on America.

The ACA represents a pragmatic approach, the consequence of conservatives adhering blindly to rightist dogma, and their contempt for their fellow Americans unable to afford health insurance.

Good.

Because the current profit motive system is immoral.

You'd have to be a dumb asshole not to see that.

the sooner the Better ... and voting out the chief obstructionist McConnell in 2014 will be the catalyst for effective and secure Health Care.

Which was obvious. The left never hides their intentions it is the people who want to be blinded sheeple

This is exactly what those of us who were opposed to ObamaCare in the first place predicted.
