Noting remotely like that has been proposed in these bills.

No, it hasn't. That's the reality I mentioned. The proponents of "Medicare for all" never got a chance to draft that language because it wasn't feasible to pass it. But it was and remains the goal. We've just been talking about Canada. Don't you think that the proponents have been going to school off them and aren't disappointed that the pending legislation isn't Canadian style? My goodness! Of course that was the goal.

Edit: I hope your not eating the "socialist takeover of the health care system" dog food.

No, I don't think the pending legislation is a socialist takeover. It's another foot in the door, as much in the door as they could manage, but still just an attempted takeover.
