ObamaCare May Be a Dud, but Democrats Will Win

Allowing ObamaCare to simply collapse won't discredit the Democrats. Instead, it will provide an opening to increase government intrusion into the private economy, enable the Democrats to look bipartisan, and blame conservatives, while ushering in a single-payer system. When ObamaCare collapses Democrats will argue that the plan was based on the Heritage Foundation's ideas from years gone by and the experiment of a Republican governor of Massachusetts. Despite their belief in single payer during 2010, Democrats took the unprecedented step of offering a conservative, market-based solution instead. But alas, they will argue that the market has failed us yet again, and the American people are left with only one option to achieve the goal of caring for all Americans.

The argument continues; we are compelled to offer the solution that we believed appropriate in 2010. Our attempt at bipartisanship was a mistake. Single payer will ensure that all Americans have their fundamental right to health care met. This is the endgame, a new behemoth entitlement, and the biggest expansion of government in our history will be accomplished. What is frightening is that if this argument is packaged correctly, Democrats in their failure will have won their ultimate prize and ensured Democrat voters for generations to come.

As a general rule, progressive steps forward into entitlement minefields are usually followed by stubborn and expensive stomps to the finish line, not by retreats or surrender.

Every credible polls says it this.
