Democrats want to destroy every aspect of our healthcare system. They have to, you see, because if they don’t they cannot rebuild it to operate under a socialist model. More proof of that was highlighted by Conn Carroll earlier in the week at the

Several congressmen, thousands of doctors and patients, and many small government activists stand against this perceived example of Obamacare-like rationing.
