ObamaCare versus SandersCare versus TrumpCare

With Mr Trump's announcement of TrumpCare to replace ObamaCare if elected, I am curious how the "ardent" critics of the latter among the Trumpsters will respond. I am sure a list of "improvements" or "differences" will be promulgated by Mr Trump of course, cheered by his acolytes, while dissing ObamaCare as well SandersCare. How different are the three programs, let us consider the characteristics. All three are socialistic programs as objectives. All three employ fascist methodology (mandating, regulating and subsidizing from "top down"), oppose to communistic methodology (owning thus mandating, regulating and subsidizing from "ground up"). It follows, all three inevitably push upward prices and wages within the healthcare industry, as result of the mandating, regulating and subsidizing. Before some pine for freer days of old, current/past social programs are of the same dynamics as previously described, but are no longer viewed negatively per a broad range of delusional sentiments; Medicare, VA benefits, Social Security, and more. These latter programs, as acceptable they may be to many who oppose the current healthcare proposals, are of the same unfortunate nature and consequence.

As a footnote or two...

Is the adjective "fascist" extreme, not at all. Fascism is not defined by police statism, militarism, mass execution and/or genocide, and neither is it's close cousin Communism. Rather, these are results of complete control of economies by the two Isms, with Fascism and Communism differing only in methods (as mentioned above), the top-down regulating of private property/production versus the ground-up regulating by eliminating private property/production, respectively. So it is quite logical thus accurate to say, Fascism and Communism oppress and kill to obtain and maintain control of the economy, not to control the economy so to oppress and kill.

It is by this understanding, Crony-Capitalism (or Corporatism) is another fascist-esque methodology, that runs the risk of becoming full bloomed into Fascism over decades of time (i.e. the preceding 100 years of German history up to the rise of Hitler per John T. Flynn's book As We Go Marching). With that said, the US economy is a blend of sectors or segments of the economy under communistic "ground-up" methods (ie. nationalization of libraries, roads, public works, etc), some (or few) near capitalistic (ie. a nearly free-market in comparison), with the bulk of the economy under fascist "top-down" methods.

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
