I don't think the Republicans want to make this work. I think they either want it overturned or hope the Sup. Ct. will over turn it. I think the Democrats need to be thinking about a Plan B in case the Sup. Ct. does overturn it (a good chance of this happening IMHO). Although without the compulsory enrollment requirement, I don't know one can have a federally mandated "Universal" system. The answer may be thru the States and letting each state set a requirement to enroll. In which case we would have a patch work quilt of universal coverage--at least for a while. The Republicans need to do a better job of explaining how their non-compulsory plan would work other than "block grants to Medicaid" which, to my knowledge, leaves too many cracks for individuals making some money, but not covered at work to fall thru. Their plan needs to address how to make health care attach to individuals instead of to their employers so when one loses his job he doesn't automatically lose his coverage. Its a debate that needs to take place in the general election.
