"If you care to go back an re-read this thread,
you will see that I brought up the success of Medicare while YOU were expressing your Shock and Awe at discovering that we already has several successful,
efficient Single Payer Systems Up & Running in the USA,
and that, contrary to what President Obama said,
we did NOT have to build them from scratch!
Many of us pointed that out in 2009,
as my link above in Post #8 of this thread demonstrates."
You called Medicaid a "3rd Class system" and then in a subsequent comment called it
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2908908
"a National, Non-Profit, Publicly Owned, Government Administered Health Care System that was designed to be expanded to include ALL Americans, Cradle to Grave, with immediate emergency assistance to those who needed it the most (Medicaid)."

Your entire purpose is obfuscation, personal attacks and being dismissive of any the President does...until caught in your own circular nonsense.
