I wouldn’t celebrate too soon. It fits perfectly with the plan. Even though this will be challenged by the Obama administration I can’t help but think that they anticipated that and that the ensuing chaos—and there will be major chaos if this is upheld— is all part of the plan to destroy the current health care system in order to replace it with total socialized medicine.

Socialized medicine, single payer, whatever you want to call it still has to be passed into law legislatively and I just don’t see this Congress, badly flawed as it is, having enough votes and voter support to introduce a government-controlled health care system anytime soon. The stars were perfectly aligned for the radical leftists in 2009 and 2010 with their filibuster-proof Congress to ram through Obamacare and I highly doubt (and hope to God) the conditions will ever be ripe for something like this to happen again in the foreseeable future.
Probably not this Congress, but when the 5 million or so who signed up on the Fed exchange find out they are not covered, and they know they will not be able to afford it, they will be screaming. Add to that, the even higher than expected rise in premiums on everyone else (based in uncertainty about the future which always drives the actuaries crazy) everyone else will be livid.
In the best of all possible worlds, given pressure from all sides, Congress would simply repeal Obamacare and let the market sort it out. But we all know that is not what the modern Congress is inclined to do. They will provide another fix which is not a fix.
