CJ, It might happen. If it does, then that opens the possibility of a single payer system. Whether singer payer happens or not has nothing to do with the fate of the individual mandate. But it does have everything to do with Democrats trying to cripple, sabotage, and burden the current system of health care to the point where only a statewide takeover can save it. If that's an accomplishment to you, then ObamaCare is "Mission Accomplished." Tenchusatsu

>> That isn't at all clear. It might happen. If it does, then that opens the possibility of a single payer system. No, it isn't clear, but I think most knowledgeable people believe it is more likely than not. Single payer is not going to happen. While it may be the liberal's wet dream, the mismanagement of Medicare alone is enough to stop it, unless Democrats get another opportunity to corrupt the process like they did with ACA. If the Court throws it out, it will be incumbent on the Rs to come up with something that is fiscally responsible. That implies it must move toward more private management and less government. If they fail to do that it will signal the beginning of the end.
