Agree to disagree. When the mandate is enforced by the power of the State, it is more Socialist/Social Welfareist than the previous system was.

It does NOT make it one step closer to a single pay system. How does it do that?

Yes, it is. And it does so as stated by clearing teh first hurdle to such a system, breaking the people of the idea that the State cannot compel you to do as it wishes on the issue of Healthcare/Insurance.

Stop repeating the same broken record nonsense that you post with regards to Obamacare. No true socialist is happy with it. Not one

Empy words warrant to response.

Your constant linking Obamacare to socialist ideology is pathetically wrong. No matter how many times you keep repeating this nonsense, you are still wrong. I am embarrassed for you. Please dont continue to make yourself look silly, you are better than that.

Agree to disagree. I would not expect a self-professed Socialist (remember?) to be honest about the political steps and gamemanship and social engineering required to move a free capitalist society to an unfree socialist one.
No matter how many insults you may choose to include, at a basic level I simply disagree with your premise, and do not trust your intentions, given your obvious desire for a fully socialist State-controlled Universal/Colelctivist Healthcare system.
P.S. No need to be embarssed for me Ken. I am perfectly capable of being embarassed on my own when warranted. It simply isn;t here, and claims to the contrary are just more diversionary language meant to move off the topic of the mandate vs. the previous system, and what the next step i in the eyes of Democrats, Liberals, progressives, Socialists and Communists (i.e. The Political Left, as once defined by DailyKOS).
Put simply, you take offense at the term "Socialist" not because you do not in fact support Socialist Policy, but because you know that specific word does not poll well in America. Hence, to enact socialist ideas, it must be branded somethign else in order to succeed and pass. Basic Politics 101, control the message.
