In an op-ed on New Republic, Ezekiel Emanuel, one of the architects behind Obamacare, says that “insurance companies as we know them are about to die.” For nearly two years now, we have argued that Obama’s real goals are to push private insurance companies out of business and establish a single-payer system.
“The good news is you won’t have insurance companies to kick around much longer. The system is changing… As a result, insurance companies as they are now will be going away. Indeed, they are already evolving. For the next few years insurance companies will both continue to provide services to employers and, increasingly, compete against each other in the health insurance exchanges.”
“So be prepared to kiss your insurance company good-bye forever,” Emanuel concludes.
