Democrats are using semantics again. They have a new name for national health care: Medicare for all.

Eleanor Roosevelt wanted national health care, but her husband had trouble getting his other programs passed by Congress, so the subject was dropped.

President Clinton’s national health care system proposal made “War and Peace” appear a thin book. The American people rejected the idea and let their congressmen know it.

President Obama introduced the Affordable Care Act. Critics who warned it would not work were labeled racist and uncaring. It is a failed, expensive monstrosity.

Liberals never give up. The new name is “Medicare for all.” It is still national health care, run and controlled by the government.

Medicare for senior citizens is going bankrupt. Who will pay for Medicare for all? Who will you appeal to when your health care claim is denied?
