INFLUENTIAL DEMOCRATIC CONSULTANTS, some of whom work for the Super PACs backing Hillary Clinton, have signed up to fight a bold initiative to create a state-based single-payer system in Colorado, according to a state filing posted Monday.

Coloradans for Coloradans, an ad-hoc group opposing single payer in Colorado, revealed that it raised $1 million over the first five months of this year. The group was formed to defeat Amendment 69, the ballot measure before voters this year that would change the Colorado constitution and permit a system that would automatically cover every state resident’s health care.

The anti-single-payer effort is funded almost entirely by health care industry interests, including $500,000 from Anthem Inc., the state’s largest health insurance provider; $40,000 from Cigna, another large health insurer that is current in talks to merge with Anthem; $75,000 from Davita, the dialysis company; $25,000 from Delta Dental, the largest dental insurer in the state; and $100,000 from SCL Health, the faith-based hospital chain.

Under the new system, there would be no health insurance premiums or deductibles, and all health and dental care would be paid for by the state through a new system called ColoradoCare. The plan calls for raising $25 billion through a mix of payroll taxes, along with bringing down costs through negotiations with providers.

The filing reveals that the anti-single-payer group has retained the services of Global Strategy Group, a Democratic consulting firm that has served a variety of congressional candidates and is currently advising Priorities USA Action, one of the Super PACs backing Clinton’s bid for the presidency.

Prominent Democratic Consultants Sign Up to Defeat Single Payer in Colorado

I saw snippets of this on another site and I thought WTF??? so I went and read the entire article. It reinforces one of the biggest problems I have with so many in this so-called party that we loosely refer to as 'Democratic' . How can so many people support her when time after time she, or someone (or some organization associated with her), is caught directly supporting the CONSERVATIVE RIGHT on so many issues while trying to put on this phony LEFTIST 'progressive/liberal' act? But to be honest, this whole damn election season has been just one big WTF from both parties as far as I'm concerned. Democrats supporting payday lenders, only supporting 'incumbents' until called on it, sleazy debate scheduling tactics. The Republican's have been entertaining but they scared the shit out of me at the same time because I looked at them and I screamed to myself "They're running for the Presidency of the United States??" and I didn't know whether to 'shit or go blind' as the old saying goes. And it seems like its been going on forever.

It's just seems so amazing to me that right at this time we should be lucky enough to have a man step forward and say that this country is headed in the wrong direction and that there really is/are men and women behind the curtain pulling our strings, selling us lies,making false promises of representation when they actually mean regulate and rule. That's why the Clinton Third Wayers hate him And that's why I am truly grateful that Bernie Sanders, even though he's either been ignored or, if noticed at all was lied about, has changed the face of American politics for the better hopefully beyond this primary and many years to come. He's called out the problems and outlined the solutions. Now he's won another primary. We need to stay behind him and see what else he's got up his sleeve. For a guy who had no chance at all, he's done remarkably 'well' in my lowly opinion. I do believe he's truly in it to the end.
