Here is some one's remark at Belmont Club (link). (Note: I don't know how to directly link to the comment. And I broke up the comment into sections so it is easier to read.)

Walt Erickson (1 hour ago)

I’m usually a pretty optimistic guy, and I’ve cheered with everyone else on this site at the apparent imminent collapse of Obamacare . But the revelation that risk corridors have been written into the Affordable Care Act changes the picture.

Obama is at this very moment talking to the insurance companies in the oval office, and there can be only one ending. The insurance companies will have their profits guaranteed by the taxpayers, with the result that the federal government will be de facto owners of the insurance companies. Obamacare is not dead, and when the insurance companies come on board Obama will have what he has always wanted, and what Obamacare was designed to give him – a single payer system, and the federal government in complete control of the health care system and complete control of the health care of every citizen.

My optimism extends only to 2014. If the GOP wins control of the Senate, then there is still a chance. If not, then it doesn’t matter what happens in 2016, it’s a done deal, the goose is cooked, and socialized medicine is with us for generations, if not forever.

Everything after Walt Erickson (1 hour ago) should have been in quotation marks. My apologies.

And I post this because the Republican Senators’ bill won’t have a chance in passing.
