Another Marxist Comes Out of Obama’s Closet – Dr. Quentin Young

Funny, you never hear about any of Barack Obama’s old friends. No classmates or ex-girlfriends come forward to say “I knew him when…” But there sure are a lot of Marxists and radicals in his past, ones he’d prefer remain silent about their friendship. The latest Marxist to pop out of Obama’s closet is Dr. Quentin Young, the coordinator of Physicians for a National Health Program.

New Zeal has the complete run down of Obama’s pal Dr. Young.

Quentin Young told Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!, that while an Illinois State senator, Obama was a strong supporter of “single payer”

Barack Obama, in those early days—influenced, I hope, by me and others—categorically said single payer was the best way, and he would inaugurate it if he could get the support, meaning majorities in both houses, which he’s got, and the presidency, which he’s got. And he said that on more than one occasion…. ”

Physicians for a National Health Program

Who is Quentin Young and what is Physicians for a National Health Program? What influence do they actually have?

PNHP claims to be a national organization of 14,000 doctors advocating single-payer national health insurance.

In reality it was long a phonebox size operation run by Quentin Young and a handful of Marxist comrades.

Quentin Young is one of America’s most committed socialists, beginning with his time in the Young Communist League in late 1930s Chicago.

After WW2, into the mid 1970s, Young was closely associated with the Communist Party and was accused of belonging to the Bethune Club (a communist doctor’s club) by a US Congressional Committee investigating the riots at the 1968 Democratic Party convention in Chicago.

In the late 1970s Young was associated with the pro Marx/Gramsci, New American Movement and in 1982 helped found the also Marxist, Democratic Socialists of America-to which he still belongs.

In 1972, in the dying days of the Vietnam War Young led a small radical delegation to Communist North Vietnam.

In 1995 Young attended the famous meeting at the Hyde Park home of former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn where Barack Obama was introduced as chosen successor to Illinois State Senator Alice Palmer. …

That’s a nice group of friends Obama’s got there. There’s plenty more at New Zeal, including more players in the Marxist cabal trying to impose a single payer system on all of us. You guessed it – unions are involved as is Senator John Conyers and a host of groups advocating for health care reform. They know if the democrats succeed in passing a bill the road will be paved for the single payer system they’ve all been longing for.

Here’s video of Dr. Young at the 2009 Health Care Now conference – a strategy session for imposing a Marxist health care system on the American people.
