“For Democrats, single payer has always been the end game, but I donï¿½€™t think they intended to get there through the abysmal failure of Obamacare. I think they envisioned that people would love Obamacare SO much that theyï¿½€™d clamor for more and more government control over the health care system. They envisioned that Obamacare would run like a well oiled machine and everything would be unicorns and skittles.

Instead, it has been a disaster of huge proportions. People are jaded and want no more of this.

I donï¿½€™t see any scenario in the near future where single payer would be supported by the public and/or or passed in Congress.”

Bingo!!! Even when Limbaugh used to espouse this theory, I would just shake my head. It's going to be tough to convince the electorate that more government intervention in healthcare will fix it all

With the exception of people on Medicaid or Medicare, almost everyone has been impacted negatively by Obamacare. Canceled policies, escalating premiums, outrageous deductibles, limits on doctor choice, more OOP costs, decline in work hours, discontinuation of employer based coverage are all the norm rather than the exception.

In my case, my policy was canceled two years in a row and a new policy with greatly increased premiums coupled with greatly reduced benefits still cost more than the previous one.

At least I haven’t had to switch doctors - yet.
