Obama admits his health care bill will lead to single payer, again

Even more evidence that ObamaCare is just a waystation on the twisted road to socialized health care. Obama met with progressive Democrats on Thursday who were worried that his bill wouldn't wreck the health care system fast enough. Obama gave particular attention to Rep. Dennis Kucinich, one of two House Dems who voted against ObamaCare because they wanted a more progressive bill. (The other is Eric Massa, who's getting treated a bit differently by the White House.) Kucinich, you see, supports a single payer system.

But, said one attendee, Obama pointed Kucinich toward single-payer language that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was able to get into the bill. Kucinich fought for an amendment that would allow states to adopt single-payer systems without getting sued by insurance companies. Obama told Kucinich that Sanders's measure was similar but doesn't kick in for several years. "He definitely wrote it down," said one member of Kucinich, suggesting that he'd look into it.

Kucinich specifically introduced his amendment in the hopes that states would start setting up single payer systems. Eventually, those would evolve into a single national insurance bureaucracy. Bernie Sanders, who introduced the Senate version, is a self-proclaimed socialist. Obama can't use words that direct now that he's been elected president, but he did hint at his real intentions while with the progressives.

Obama argued to the group of progressive members that his health care reform bill should be looked at as the foundation of reform, that can be built on in the future. He asked them to help gather votes for the final health care battle and promised that as soon as the bill was signed into law, he'd continue to push to make it stronger.

In other words, this is only the beginning. It might take years or even decades, but eventually ObamaCare will bloom into a nationalized health system.

In fact, that's exactly what Obama said on the campaign trail a few years ago. Once again speaking in front of savvy progressives, he admitted that a public option would ultimately lead to a single payer system, which he supports. Here's the video:
