Unfortunately the Democrats can always be counted on to find a scapegoat. We will hear:

- The insurance companies on the exchanges are greedy, and this is why commiecare is terrible

- Doctors are greedy, own nice cars and second houses....and this is why they won’t see you

And after a budget battle or two, where ocare becomes an entrenched non-discretionary spending item (no way it will be self supporting), any attempt by Republicans to not balloon spending on this will be met with claims that Republicans want to kill you.

I’ve never bought into the notion that we should let it run its course, and the disaster will be blamed on Democrats. The entire mess needs to be killed.

Of course, you've hit on the endgame.

Docs won't take Obamacare.....so the obvious solution is to *require* them to take it.

Docs flee their profession in droves.....smart people don't *need* to be doctors. They can be engineers, lawyers, etc etc etc ad infinitum.

America's medical profession - truly the "shining beacon on a hill" for so many years - ceases to exist.

I'm hoping that it will stick around via inertia while I'm drawing breath. I worry about my kids' future, tho.
