Minneapolis, M.N. – One prominent House Democrat has suggested that a government takeover of private hospitals may be needed. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) suggests that private hospitals should be made public in order for the government to control the treatment. She suggests this would be a radical plan.
Here is maybe a radical idea to deal with some of the pressures our healthcare system is facing:
All private hospitals should be made public for the duration of the virus.

Omar has been a supporter of Medicare for all, a proposed government takeover of the entire healthcare system. So it should come as no surprise that she proposes something like this. Fox News has an article that talks about how she released no information on her plan.
Apparently, Rep. Omar is an avid follower of Fox News and responded later in the day regarding a single payer health system that is going into effect in Ireland.
Fox News was freaking about my suggestion on this, maybe it makes sense to think of bold solutions that save lives in times of national crisis.#PeopleOverProfits https://t.co/qCjaMVKHV1

She implies that her suggestion should be given thought since it takes “bold solutions” in a time of national crisis. I’m assuming by bold solutions she is implying that tying aid relief to Democrat pet projects is ok. The Democrats have been full of suggestions during this crisis, all of them being absurd.
Take for example the House proposal. In the legislation that Pelosi and her gang authored, they wanted climate control measures, diversity measures, restructuring of private company boards, immigration changes and more. Please explain how all of those initiatives will save lives during the coronavirus crisis. They simply will not.
They have continued to push back on President Trump’s suggestions. They have issues with them because many of his suggestions put the solutions back to private industry. But Democrats want larger government. For example, they have consistently made light of his comments regarding medications to try during the crisis.

The main stream media has spent the last few days making fun of this and insulting his suggestion. Politicians from Pressley above and Hillary Clinton have all poked fun at the President. Yet, studies are showing that the medication may work. Large pharmaceutical companies are making large amounts of the medication available for free for treatment.
There’s just one problem, this simple of a solution cannot be respected because it does not increase the size or power of government. Allowing the government to take over and control things has never worked. As the government controls programs, it increases the size and control over the lives of the citizens. This is what these Democrats want.
If they were truly concerned about the citizens, they wouldn’t be interested in all of these pork projects. They would be interested in passing legislation as quickly as possible. Assisting Americans and the businesses that employ them is the most important thing right now.
