Ignore

:ph34r: Single-payer is a euphemism for no-choice socialized healthcare.

I find it ironic that the Democrats consider themselves the “pro-choice” party, and then propose a single-payer healthcare system. Single-payer is simply a euphemism for no-choice healthcare; it is also a euphemism for socialization. Democrats also like to refer to themselves as “progressive.” Socialism is many things, but “progressive” isn’t one of them. No matter how much lipstick Democrats try to put on this single-payer pig, it is still a socialistic pig. With less than 14% of the population uninsured, there is hardly a “crisis,” and certainly no need to implement a VA style government healthcare system covering 100% of the population. This would be like turning a silk purse into a sow’s ear, or throwing the baby out with the bathwater, for the 86% of Americans that are already happy and covered by private insurance.
