This is part of the steady march to an authoritarian single payer system like Canada or the UK with horrendous waiting lists for people to get care. ECU Health is part of Big Medicine in promoting this. Republican lawyers who voted for this left wing wet dream should be ashamed of themselves. Yes, thats you Jim Perry, Tim Reeder, John Bell, Chris Humphreys. Shame on you. You are involuntarily transfering hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians who now have private health insurance onto the government dole at the taxpayers expense. If they qualify by income for Medicaid, they have to get Medicaid, and can no longer keep their private health insurance, and that sometimes means they cannot keep their doctor. Taxpayers are also being screwed to the wall to pay for this. Big Medicine is an enemy of American freedom, and Republican sellouts who voted for this bill are traitors to Republican voters.
