"The first thing to realize is that the immediate goal of the Progressives is not to establish government-run universal healthcare immediately. Instituting a healthcare system that would have immediately created long wait times to see a doctor, denial of benefits for all ages and a more concentrated denial of benefits to the elderly, infirm and those born with health defects (again, read the Complete Lives System by Dr. Zeke Emanuel) would have created an immediate, and perhaps violent backlash, not only targeting the Progressive contingent within government but the government as a whole.
No, the goal of Progressives is to crash the system; to overwhelm the system to such an extent that it fails. It is at this moment of failure that Progressives believe they can enter the situation as the “knight in shining armor.” It is at this particular moment of vulnerability that Progressives believe the American public will acquiesce to the false choice of “something is better than nothing”; to a government-run universal healthcare plan to rescue the devastated American healthcare system, a system Progressives themselves threw into chaos, courtesy of their ridiculous health insurance reform law."
