Leftists jumping up and down about Cloward-Piven's dawn after judge's Obamacare ruling

Single payer, anyone? For Vox wunderkind Ezra Klein, the judge's ruling means the time is now.

Well, well, well ... in the wake of the Texas judge's ruling striking down Obamacare as unconstitutional, what have we here?
Hipster commentator Ezra Klein, who founded Vox.com, is not crying, he's crowing.

But nearly a decade of constant and cynical assault on what was supposed to be a compromise bill has pushed the Democratic Party left on health care policy, and persuaded Democrats everywhere that trying to compromise or placate Republicans is foolish. The legacy of the GOP’s Obamacare repeal strategy won’t be the Affordable Care Act’s destruction, but Medicare-for-all’s construction.
This is doubly true if Republicans somehow succeed in this case. Imagine a world where Judge O’Connor’s ruling is upheld. In that world, a Republican judge cuts tens of millions of people off health insurance mere weeks after Republicans lost a midterm election for merely trying to cut those people off health insurance. The aftermath of that would be a political massacre for the GOP, and a straightforward mandate for Democrats to rebuild the health system along the lines they prefer.

In other words, the charges from Republicans that the whole Obamacare setup was really a Cloward-Piven strategy to destroy the health care system of the U.S. and install a socialist single payer alternative, where the state would choose your doctor and your doctor would become a bureaucrat at its service, were true all along.
Just as James Woods tweeted back in 2017:

#ObamaCare was designed to fail; a classic #Cloward and #Piven strategy meant to implode and force a single-payer government health program.

And just as Democrats had earlier forecast would happen, as here.
Nevertheless, Democrats yelled and screamed that Republicans were all in for conspiracy-mongering by making that charge, and President Obama repeatedly tried to assure that "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" as a means of insisting that his Obamacare was no socialist scheme to take over all health care. Now, the mask is off, and Democrats are openly hailing the recent ruling as their proof that the dawn of single payer is now on us. Obama's assurances were just pablum to placate the deplorables out in the heartland in order to get the detested bill through. In reality, Obamacare was very much a Trojan horse to sneak into the American edifice, wreck its health care system, break it from within, and sure enough, install a Soviet-style alternative.
And in the rubble, Cloward-Piven's strategy would ensure that socialist rule. Ezra Klein isn't even trying to hide it.
Any questions as to why Democrats cannot be trusted?

Gorka's two-word smackdown for a pompous leftist who vowed to leave the U.S. over Obamacare ruling

Gorka smacks down the obnoxious leftie, Kurt Eichenwald.

December 16, 2018
By Monica Showalter

A famous and obnoxious leftist writer of the Vanity Fair stripe named Kurt Eichenwald tweeted out his typical leftist doom-and-gloom despair at a Texas judge's ruling to strike down Obamacare as unconstitutional.
And got a two-word total smackdown from former White House advisor and Fox News contributor Sebastian Gorka:

Sebastian Gorka DrG ✔ @SebGorka

Why wait?

Kurt Eichenwald ✔ @kurteichenwald

America is not number one. The people who chant that have no idea. Now that people with chronic diseases once again must fight to obtain medical care, it is time to go to a real country. My wife has renewed her foreign passport. We will be leaving when she is ready to retire.

Which triggered a very funny string of comments from other readers, making Eichenwald look like a boob.
Fact is, health care in most of the world is lousy, and precisely for the same reason Obamacare is lousy - a one-size-fits-all regime, a hidden cost structure (Europeans pay through the nose for their health care; it's just not at the doctor's office) and the famous wait lists of socialized medicine. This doesn't even get into the issues of lower mortality rates for major illnesses such as cancer in the U.S., and the medical research, innovation and breakthroughs that found mainly here.
Yes, why wait? Wouldn't Cuban or Venezuelan health care serve him better? How about some NIH of the U.K.? That would be the same NIH whose ambulances dump patients in the doorway of hospitals instead of take them in, and refuses to allow Italian hospitals to take care of tiny Charlie Gard for free instead of insisting that he die there.
By all means, Kurt, take Gorka up on his idea.
Gorka, who's a naturalized U.S. citizen from Hungary, knows very well what he is talking. Off you go, Kurt, do what Mr. Gorka suggests for you.
