Actually, I think he does. Keep in mind that his goal is to destroy private health insurance. Once that goal is achieved, the only thing left will be the government and single payer.
It’s working, even 1/2 the people on FR complain about the insurance companies. Obama will have the whole country screaming about evil insurers soon enough and people will cheer when he puts everyone on (single-payer) medicaid.
He may succeed in destroying private health insurance as we know it.
But he will probably not be able to totally destroy the free market.
And as long as the free market exists, new markets can be created to replace what we once knew as “private health insurance.”
I know this might sound too optimistic. But it’s true.
