“GOP is SCARED TO DEATH of the inevitable race riots that will ensue. “
No, the GOP is serving their real masters. Wall Street and the large multi national corporations want to eliminate the cost of health care from employee benefits by offloading it to the government. Congress did not have the courage to transition directly to a federal government managed single payer system. Obamacare was designed as the intermediate step. Once it is completely implemented, and the people complain, Congress plans to solve the problem by moving to a government run single payer system. At that time employer paid health insurance will end.
The Dems will get another huge entitlement program for its low information constituents plus a huge bureaucracy to employ more Dem voting government workers. The corporate fatcats who fund the RNC will enjoy billions of dollars in additional profits by offloading medical costs on the government. The middle class will assume the cost of funding the single payer system through higher taxes.
The Republican Party is demonstrating everyday it is not aligned with conservative voters or the middle class.

Well said.
I would add that both the gop and ‘rat wing of the uniparty will get a source of graft - waivers won’t be cheap - as well as access to all that personal data. Nice to have when you want to do opposition research on your opponent, don’t you think?
Perfectly said. Well done.
This.
I worked briefly for a big-box store (not WalMart) and I could tell that they did not want to pay for any healthcare for the common worker. The plans were priced well beyond their ability to pay for it and still have anything left in their paycheck.
It seems to me that the big-box stores make sure to pay their workers low enough salaries so they qualify for food stamps and medicare (medicaid?). Offloading all of their employees healthcare costs onto the government means a fatter profit margin for them (and for the government, more revenue in taxes on that profit).
A win-win for both large corporations and the feral government. The only loser: us.
