I really hate being right all the time. Back in October, during the government shutdown, Democrats admitted the entire endgame of Obamacare was to collapse the healthcare system in favor of single-payer Medicare for All. I warned then — as I have multiple times in the past — that the only reason the Left says things like housing, education, and healthcare are “rights” is so they can take control of them and use them as political cudgels against their political opponents.
It was as predictable as the sun rising in the East, because all you have to do is pay attention to what the Left says and does. For housing? Mamdani’s tenant advisor, Cea Weaver, has said her policies will target white homeowners. COVID provided that education was not a “right” because the Left had no problem denying children — including special needs children — an education during the pandemic under the guise of “safety.”
And for healthcare? We’ve had a slew of Leftist healthcare “professionals” (I use that term very loosely) who are pretty darned vocal about hating Republicans and wishing harm on them, including a nurse who hopes Second Lady Usha Vance and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt struggle with delivering their children later this year, and the Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) who said he had an ethical and legal right to deny MAGA patients anesthesia during surgical procedures (spoiler alert: he does not).
There would be no greater power than having control over life and death matters in healthcare, and there are Leftists who are simply itching at the prospect of denying their political opposition life-saving care. For the “greater good” of course.
Here’s one such exchange:
As a conservative who’s needed a lot of medical treatment of late, this kind of thing is terrifying.
A few days ago, I posted on Facebook about how ridiculous I think medical forms requiring you to choose from dozens of different pronouns options are.

“They’re not going to refuse care for someone who choses [sic] not to disclose pronouns on a medical form or with a hatred for ‘wokeness’ (unfortunately), wrote Baranowski.
“Unfortunately?” replied Basham. “You feel that medical treatment should be refused for political opinions?”
“If those political opinions drive fascist regimes that cause tangible harm to the environment and minority groups, yes,” Said Branaowski. It’s not JUST your opinion here — it’s your support for abhorrent s***.”
There it is, folks.
Your refusal to bow to the woke mob is now grounds for being denied medical care. Soon, Leftists like Barnawoski will be demanding this become public policy, and there isn’t a doubt in my mind that the increasingly radicalized Democratic Party will gladly oblige her.
What do they have to lose?
When Luigi Mangione shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, several prominent Democrats excused Mangione’s violent crime by saying the denial of claims is akin to “violence.” This includes Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Elizabeth Warren.
No, shooting a man in the back on a New York street is violence. Not getting your insurance claim paid is difficult, but it is not violent.
Yet it’s not hard to envision a political platform that promises to deny conservatives healthcare. Earlier this month, Mehdi Hasan implored the Democrats to run on a platform of weaponizing the government against conservatives. California Rep. Eric Swalwell, who is also running for governor, has said he will make life a living hell for ICE agents, including suspending their drivers’ licenses. Tim Walz wants his jackboots to record ICE to create a database on which to later prosecute them. In Maryland, legislators introduced a bill to bar ICE agents from obtaining law enforcement jobs in the state. Jasmine Crockett, James Carville, and Beto O’Rourke have all vowed retribution if Democrats regain power.
Others have experienced such discrimination.
It is absolutely unsettling.
I started treatment for Stage 3 Hodgkin Lymphoma this past summer, and on all my forms I listed my employer as “City of…” instead of the Police Department name because I have had doctors offices in the area ask me to leave because my uniform, or even…— Jacob Strickland (@JDStrickland88) January 23, 2026
The only reason they haven’t floated the idea of denying housing, education, and healthcare to conservatives is that they don’t have the unilateral power to do so. Yet. But they won’t stop until they do, and they don’t care who they harm in the process.
Throughout history, every authoritarian regime eventually arrives at the same place: deciding which lives are worthy of protection and which are expendable, in pursuit of the latest version of utopia. The slogans and justifications change, but the outcome never does.
And when healthcare becomes a political weapon, dissent becomes a diagnosis. When healthcare professionals decide their beliefs — or yours — are grounds to deny you medical care, the Hippocratic oath and medical ethics become meaningless.
What was once a hypothetical is becoming a real, tangible policy, and in certain circles, is proudly stated, loudly. It will be excused, and then embraced, by a Democratic Party that has already justified violence as contextual. They’ve normalized the idea that disagreement is “violence” and that actual murder is sometimes justified as understandable frustration. They’ve already declared entire professions as fair game for collective punishment.
The only thing they’re missing is the power. And once they get that, there will be no appeal, no moral reckoning, and no outrage. They will insist it was necessary. For safety. For equity. For the greater good.
Everything that’s happening now is not a warning. It’s a roadmap, and it’s clear where it leads.
