Like with The Highlander, the same with ObamaCare: “There can be only one.”

OCare has been about which provider would be the last one. Folks say “let it collapse” but they forget that there will still be all those congressionally passed laws in place and there will be only one provider remaining. That is referred to as single provider.

And there will be a law on the books requiring the government to reimburse them each year. A socialist doesn't care if the provider is called “Anthem” or the Fed, since the fed will be reimbursing.

So, in my opinion we are marching toward single provider, the laws are already on the books, and everyone is encouraging it to get here faster by clamoring for collapse.

Current law won't allow the last provider to collapse.

I wish I had enough experience in Health care insurance to know for sure if you are accurate or not. I have been in health care (computer development) all my life, but there are many areas of that, and my specialty has been EMR and other datacentric specialties (lab and epidemiology, statistical reporting, PII/HIPAA/patient infosec, and the like)

I just cannot speak with authority about what you postulate.
