“Without Scott Brown, we would have had a single-payer (government lead) system.”

Actually, this sounds like it advances single-payer health care. Whatever....it’s some effort at compromise, and I don’t want compromise. I voted Republican so we could not compromise, but rather, bring back conservativism.
“Without Scott Brown, we would have had a single-payer (government lead) system.”
That is not true. The Senate already passed it’s version of the healthcare bill in December ‘09 without single payer, before Brown was elected in January of ‘10. Your statement should read, “Without Joe Lieberman, we would have had a single-payer system”. It was Lieberman who put the kabosh on single payer.
Scott Brown had zero effect on the passage of Obamacare, but he is having an effect on all the other things he caves in on. At least we know Martha Coakley is a statist; for too many people it is taking too long to realize what a statist compromiser Scott Brown is. Think of the Tea Party money that was spent on that clown.
