ObamaCare is all about single-payer.

Medicaid is the “doorway” that single-payer is going to be implemented through.

Governors are enabling that transition. Obama will have the states implement single-payer for him through state Medicaid programs.

No fight will be needed at the federal level.

Incrementalism. It’s what’s for dinner.

Yes, the ultimate goal of the left is to have private insurance fail by design by putting so many mandates on the private carriers so that their policies will become priced out of the general marketplace. Then Big Brother will come to the rescue and offer an "affordable" plan, one size fits all, i.e., single payer. Problem is that everywhere it's been tried, the quality of care deteriorates, yet the expense to taxpayers is prohibitive.

I don't necessarily agree with that. I'm aware that some states, even with GOP governors, have opted to participate in the Medicaid part of Obamacare, at least for now. But there will be some holdouts that will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into it. That would require even more federal legislation. But it's difficult to foresee the entire population accepting Medicaid or something like it, because it's a poverty program with all the attendant problems in obtaining access to quality care.
