The article examines disturbing statements by a Michigan doctor and argues those comments underscore why someone like Abdul El-Sayed should not be trusted to push Medicare for All, warning that centralized control of healthcare could be weaponized for political or ideological ends.

Concentrated control of medicine always invites abuse, and recent events from across the country have made that clear. When healthcare professionals start mixing politics with medical decisions, patients lose. That is the real danger behind proposals that hand more authority over healthcare to Washington.

Over the last few years we’ve seen medical workers punished and even stripped of credentials after using social platforms to threaten or promise to withhold care based on political views. Those incidents did not happen in a vacuum and they reveal the cultural rot inside parts of the medical profession. It is chilling to imagine that behavior amplified under a one-payer system.

Now a Michigan physician and pro-Palestinian activist, Nidal Jboor, has gone further than rhetoric and openly called for an escalation against groups he labels as supremacists. His words are not abstract; they explicitly name targets and suggest action against them, which should alarm regulators and patients alike.

“It is time for us to pay back and stop the criminals, the perpetrators, the child murderers,” Jboor said. “And we all know who they are.

We all know who they are, whether they are in Israel, Tel Aviv, in Washington, in Germany, in Europe. We all name them. We all know them. They need to be locked up. They need to be taken out. They need to be neutralized.”

Those are not casual comments; they are a call to identify and remove whole groups from power. Another statement from Jboor pushed the same theme of mobilization and seizing power, which reads like a playbook for turning institutions into instruments of political revenge. Allowing people who speak like this to sit at the levers of a national healthcare system would be reckless.

“Now it’s time to escalate and to act. The warmongers and the mega rich who are owning these systems, they want the whole world to be owned by these few supremacists, whether they are Jewish supremacists, Christian supremacist, Christian evangelicals, or mega rich. It is time or never. We need to mobilize,” he continued.

“If we wait five years, ten years, their system will be so strong that we the people cannot fight it. So we need to take the thrones of power from them and we the people need to create a better world and better humanity for everyone,” he said.

That is a doctor saying those words, and it raises a basic question: can citizens trust a healthcare professional who celebrates the idea of seizing power and neutralizing opponents? When clinical discretion is mixed with ideological vendettas, medicine stops being about patients and becomes about politics.

Imagine what happens if a federalized health system gives centralized oversight to officials who share that mindset. With Medicare for All, licensing, funding, and access decisions would be far more concentrated, and a rogue official could weaponize policy under the guise of public health. The risk is not theoretical when professionals publicly advocate exclusion or worse.

This story is not an isolated scandal to be shrugged off with a firing and a denial. It points to a structural vulnerability that could be exploited by ideologues if we move toward a system that places more power in fewer hands. The solution is not to expand federal authority over medicine but to reinforce accountability and local control.

There are complex global crises and fierce debates about foreign policy playing out in public life, but those debates should not spill into the exam room as medical judgments based on political identity. Healthcare must remain a professional, neutral service dedicated to patients, not a battlefield for retribution.

Regulators should pay attention and act where professionals cross the line into threats or incitement. Stripping licenses and enforcing standards is appropriate when a provider endorses harming patients or refusing care on political grounds. That kind of discipline protects both patients and the reputation of medicine.

At a time when some politicians openly embrace Medicare for All, voters deserve to consider how such a system could be abused by activists inside medicine. Abdul El-Sayed and like-minded advocates who favor sweeping federal control must answer how they would prevent ideological enforcement through healthcare policy. The people making those proposals should be held to that accountability.

Until the profession proves it will police itself, and until policy proposals include ironclad protections for patient neutrality, the public should be wary of handing more power to centralized systems. Trust in medicine is fragile, and it should not be gambled away on political experiments that hand control to people who have already shown they see opponents as enemies rather than patients.
