"Whether singer payer happens or not has nothing to do with the fate of the individual mandate" You are wrong. They are directly related. "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." Oh nonsense. They are not trying to do anything like that. Try to be rational for once, Tenchu. The ACA would not have that effect. A good example is already out there. Switzerland. They used to have a system very much like we have now. They were facing spiraling costs and a growing percentage of the population without coverage. Then they adopted something very much like what the ACA is. It cut their costs and everyone is covered. It is far from the disaster you keep predicting.
