President Obama, in his New Hampshire speech this morning, talked about how a single-payer system is impractical and is not the goal of the health care bill. This position directly contradicts statements he made to the SEIU in 2007 (where he identified single-payer as a long term rather than short term goal) and the AFL/CIO in 2003 (where he identified single-payer healthcare as a specific agenda item). I don't pull this stuff out of thin air; I have heard the sound bites and they are not out of context.
What the people of this country need to realize is that the far left is not looking for an immediate legislative grand slam - they are trying to pass legislation that will give them the foot in the door to leverage these policies into bigger and bigger Federal programs while eliminating private sector competition. What it all boils down to is Federal power and control over our lives and how we live them, and it is downright scary.
