Sen. Coburn: Private health insurance may end soon

The Tulsa World reports:

Private health insurance in the U.S. will be dead in three years, U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn said Tuesday.


"There will be no insurance industry left in three years," Coburn told the Republican Women's Club of Tulsa County.

"That is by design. You’re going to make insurance unaffordable for everyone -- which is what they want. Because if there’s no private insurance left, what’s left? Government-centered, government-run, single-payer health care.”

Coburn apparently based his prediction on reported hikes in private insurance premiums, increases he attributed to the new law.

This is part of the socialist plan laid off by Rep. Jan Schakowsky.
