not missing it at all and have alluded to that fact in most of what i have been saying.like i said - there's some socialism in much of what we do. we've just done it for so long it doesn't seem that way.
i do think some more of it will need to be added in for a variety of reasons but i also see why it won't be easy. the crowd asking for it is the same crowd saying we are not coming for your guns, we're just coming for your guns.
i'm not for single payer health care for the simple reason that does nothing to resolve the rising costs of healthcare, just demands someone else pay for it. our laws, regulations, education and doctor fees and so forth coupled into an insurance company in the middle that also makes money makes a direct comparison to socialism impossible but we do it anyway and pretend all those hurdles are not there. we need a gov sponsored medical education where you pay for it via an internship in gov run hospitals. those who can't afford the standard health care are welcome here. lots of work on that idea needed, but it is something to start with at least vs. bitch cause no one is doing something.
I think what you are missing is that both sides call for it, they just call it different things.
i *do* think the left has gone ass-nutt-fuck crazy with it however.
the left is playing to their base while knowing that none of their ideas can ever become law with the Senate and White House under GOP control.
it is not unlike the 62 times the GOP voted to get rid of ObamaCare when they knew it would never go anywhere.
