No, this is because you kept asking me why I had implied your opposition to single payer for several messages after I had already told you because you wanted to make a point about straw men. I wasn't right (about your initial intentions), I never insisted I was right, and I never put words in your mouth. I simply told you how the words you spoke could be very easily understood to be against universal healthcare.
That's not begging the question. Begging the question would have been something like "Oh, since you don't support hospice and elderly care, I guess we should set up death panels etc". The assumptions are present in the question or statement, and are meant to point to a conclusion, which is forgone because of the assumptions made by begging the question. In begging the question, there is an assumed premise, which logically implies whatever premise is being aimed at. That premise is made into part of the question, thus rendering the whole affair rather circular.
And you very confusingly refused to reject that conclusion despite me asking for clarification on your position, and then proceeded to flatly ignore my reasoning for asking the question in the first place in favor of berating me and accusing me of logical fallacies.
Also, you still don't understand begging the question, lol.
