Flashback: Destroying Private Insurance and Putting Everyone Into Government Insurance -- Single Payer -- Was Always the Goal

This is from MorganR. and John Sexton.

Remember, the media did not report on this at all -- that the architect of the original ObamaCare plan bragged that his plan was not a "Trojan Horse" for single payer, because a Trojan Horse disguises what it is -- and his plan was obviously a move to single payer.

When MorganR. and John Sexton publicized this -- their scoop, but a few media outlets picked up on it, like, I think, the WSJ -- Joe Lieberman got spooked and demanded changes to the law to prevent it from forcing people into single payer.

Well, we see now that one element of those changes -- the much-vaunted "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan" grandfather clause -- was immediately rendered a nullity by Obama's regulation-writers. Thus putting the plan back on the path to what it was always intended to be, a sneaky way to push everyone in Single Payer government health care.

Jacob Hacker is the most important speaker in this video, at 0:39. He wrote ObamaCare. He is "the father" of the public option. So when he says the public option was always conceived as a way of sneaking the country to accept a Medicaid Nation, while claiming that the private insurance system would be maintained, he knows whereof he speaks.
