Right now there is only one way around single payer and that is to win both houses and tear this apart. It may be too late for that? The communists waited for their chance and took full advantage and here we are.

o care can’t and won’t last that long, IMHO.
Things were getting so BAD that O HAD to reverse (in words only) the premise of the entire house of cards. That you WOULD have to lose the plan and doc you like is central to the core of o care.
So Th. he says now you can keep your plan for another year — never mind that those plans are still illegal. AND he says this to bring scared Dems back into the fold, so they do not support legislation which really WOULD allow the insurers to legally offer the plans again! Which he does NOT want to happen because it really DOES cut to a key part of the house of cards. And if the legislation passed he would veto it!
Talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time. The media is not fooled, they are calling the press conference a move of political desparation.
39 Dems voted for legislative change with the Republicans.
I can’t hope to predict how all this will fall out. But logically the Democrat caucuses which Pelosi and Reid have ruled with an iron fist are going to break away. They will (should be) BEGGING for repeal before the 2014 elections.
Oh yes, some will call for single payer. But they won’t get it, not now. They have proved to enough Americans that they can’t implement or administer something complicated.
And Republicans are going to have sensible proposals.
I think it will all revlove around leadership.THey have obama/hillary we have Palin/Cruz/Lee. Let’s see who gets the job done.
