It never can be debunked because, Obama said he wants “single payer and
if it takes 10-20 years then that’s OK” So what ever Obama does is
going to be toward *single payer* . He has yet yo say that he now sees
he was misguided and single payer will never work….

He is still going to *incrementally* try to get to *SINGLE PAYER* and
the only way for us to stop single payer is to stop every tiny
increment, crush the hope that the Socialists have that they will ever
get even tiny little steps towards it.
