Rep. Burgess: Obamacare Designed to Fail, Force Socialized Medicine



President Barack Obama and other Democrats intentionally designed the healthcare reform law to fail so they could achieve their ultimate goal to impose a federal system of socialized medicine, Rep. Michael Burgess tells Newsmax.TV.

The Texas Republican, who is a medical doctor himself, issued that diagnosis of Obamacare during an exclusive Newsmax interview marking the law’s one-year anniversary. Opponents have waged a multi-front battle against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act since Obama signed it into law on March 23, 2010. More than half of the states are involved in federal lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the measure, and efforts continue in Congress to defund it.

”I do think the law, as written, is designed to fail,” Burgess said. “Perhaps the cynic in me would say that’s on purpose because ultimately, their goal was a single-payer, national-run healthcare system of so-called socialized medicine in this country. The other part of me says this is so bad that people will at some point rise up and revolt and reclaim their sovereignty over their healthcare and their lives.”
