Wishful thinking.
I know that hope springs eternal, but the rats have always known that ObamaCare was designed to fail. Let me repeat that: ObamaCare was intended to fail, and fail spectacularly. However, the collapse of ObamaCare had to be such that it could be blamed on evil insurance companies (responding to perverse incentives created by government), greedy pharmaceutical companies (responding to perverse incentives created by government), venal health care corporations (responding to perverse incentives created by government), and ignorant health care consumers (rationally ignorant in a third-party payer system). The death spiral is apodictically inevitable, and the Dems know that they will be able to convince the ignoranti that it was due to “free markets”. (Why else would socialists refer to their system as being comprised of a “marketplace” of “health care exchanges”?) That’s why, when it appeared poised to wreck the economy, Obama unilaterally decreed that that the employer mandate would not be enforced. And that’s why he’s waived other provisions that would cause wreckage to ObamaCare if they could not be blamed on evil free markets.
It’s Leninism 101: the worse, the better.
