It’ll all be blamed on the GOP somehow.
Actually, even that will not bring them to an understanding of what they've done. You can't fix stupid.

The "key" to making it all work however, is having NO access to the system...
I've long said that the "key" to "saving" Social Security is raising the eligibility age to 99 years. The Social Security "system" will be "saved" - we're not talking about people, just "saving" the "system."
BTTT!
Uh... not to be a purveyor of doom and gloom, but considering the price-fixing, hours, and case load the government commissars will dictate to you, the “post office” may be exactly where you’ll be.
That’s exactly what I meant. Hence I am working on my exit strategy.....
Call me an eyore... I think even after all that some would remain unconvinced.
People in the Gulag used to write letters to Stalin, begging him to rescue them—convinced that he would be outraged if only he knew how badly some of his citizens were being treated.
My point is that health care rationing will necessarily result in the institutionalization of status and privilege defined by political leaders. Not unlike the royalty of Europe assigning titles to the upper crust of society. Perhaps the simplest thing is for us to acknowledge openly the concept of individual equality is now dead and move forward by having the government assign titles of rank to each citizen. The current administration might designate conservative average citizens in flyover country as untouchable to the applause of the media and academia.

I know a cardiac surgeon who is giving up on heart issues and taking up leg veins.

People that switch or plan to are in deep shit!
