Going back years before he was elected, his litany of socialist spew has been focused on two things: redistributive equity, and single-payer healthcare. Over and over again, these two things.

Actually, I don’t think he gives a rat’s twit about the House or the Senate. It’s true, he’s had to undercut/delay parts of it, but this was the plan. First, delay everything so his 2012 election was assured, and now that his baby has the whooping cough, he’s put her on superdoses of delay this and that until after the 2014 elections.

He only cares about the House and Senate insofar as the Republicans not taking over the Senate, and he’s buying those seats off left and right with money (Landrieu, McConnell, Graham et al) His goal is to implement his agenda, and he has three more years. Once he gets it, single-payer, it will never be taken away. And, with that single-payer comes the redistributive equity in the form of massive tax assessments.

You're forgetting that the biggest proponents of "single payer" aren't Marxists at all. They're American business owners who simply can't compete in a global economy when they have massive insurance premiums draped around their necks. In the case of those old companies that have had union contracts in place for decades, they are also paying insurance premiums for people who haven't worked in years.

What we're finding out about ObamaCare now is that the whole idea of "redistribution" is a con job, too. Many of the people who are forced to buy inferior insurance coverage under this Federal mandate are simply telling the government to "'Eff off," and there's really nothing the government or the insurance industry is going to do about it.
