Obamacare is not a failure - it's a huge success. It was deliberately designed to hurt large numbers of people, so Obama could use it an as excuse to adopt single payer heath care.

[bmwcyle]

Obama will save the day with single payer. The plan is complete.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Yes, that sounds plausible. But “trust me now” is going to be tough. It will have to contend with “Fool me twice.”

"It was deliberately designed to hurt large numbers of people, so Obama could use it an as excuse to adopt single payer heath care."

As soon as Obama bails out the insurance companies then it already IS single payer for all intents and purposes. The premiums and deductibles are just another layer of taxation.

[BitWielder1]

That was never a secret.
What he did not say was that he had to DESTROY the existing system first to force the single payer system on us.

[nascarnation]

I’ll take that bet if you offer it.
I can’t see Dems swearing off the huge lobbying $$ from insurance companies.

It will have to contend with “Fool me twice.”

Which just happens to be tailor made for the Low Information Voter.

Game over.

Necessity is the mother of invention. I’m glad you like it!

[WayneS]

Good point.

We'll be subject to a single-payer system without the national socialists even having to admit it.

And since it'll be a "tax", then it'll be "constitutional".

[Amigo04]

how is he “a proponent of a single-payer system”?

[fwdude]

Yes, the “law” which is STILL forever being written will soon morph into single payer. It’s somewhere in those 2,000+ pages.

[Buckeye McFrog]

If he really believes that, then he should have been willing to do the hard work of convincing a majority of Americans that he was right, and that we should let him do it.

But as we’ve all seen, this clown is absolutely allergic to hard work.

So instead he ran the gadget play. The misdirection. The shuck-and-jive. And it is coming back to bite him in the arse...hard.

The blatant dishonesty is crashing his poll numbers even with people who might have agreement with him in concept.

bump

[GeronL]

The MSM will be 100% behind him

[GSWarrior]

Well d’uh

The insurance companies may now be realizing that they’re on the menu, too. Will they fight back or meekly march to the kitchen?

[circlecity]

"And since it'll be a "tax", then it'll be "constitutional".

But since they call it a premium they will be able to raise it at will with no input or acts of Congress.

[bmwcyle]

They are not in control.

You happen to be a sneaky, lying, Marxist Muslim bastard.
