Nah, I’m sorry, but that’s a tad silly even for a Liberal. It takes shooting ones self in the foot to the extreme. You don’t make yourself the laughing stock of the entire nation (and possibly the world) just to try and punish another in a way that will be hard to explain later.
I’d also add that while yes, single payer is the desire, its chances are being destroyed by this debacle. Most Dems wouldn’t vote for it before, good luck now. And while we are likely on the verge of a death spiral, the InsCos got protection in the form of a mandatory bailout if it happens written into the law - the companies won’t be going away. Plus Medicaid not being force expanded means no single payer can easily be forced even if Dems were willing to say 2 years from now after half the people lose insurance that “its too expensive for everyone and we want to take all insurance away and give everyone medicaid” - they would literally be in risk of being strung up at their state capitols as next to no one would want to go along with it this fast
At this point we will prob see a death spiral, millions lose insurance, the mandates on what is covered dropped to allow people to get catastrophic and most other services go into a true free-market situation like Lasik, Lapband, etc are now.
This F*up this fast is the last thing they wanted, I imagine, because the law was already unpopular and in risk of destructive changes which might help it go away. Now that many of yhe lesser legs will be tossed in the courts and others will have to change to make constituents happy, its even worse for its chances. Dems are in a horrific situation right now. If they don’t make parts of it go away then they will go away in the elections and the entire bill be be in bigger risk.
