The high deductibles are by design. Obamacare is suppose to fail (you likely know this) so single payer can take over.
I think the problem is it’s failing so badly the american sheeple are waking up and will flat out reject single payer.
Much like they rejected Obamacare. However, I think real tar, feathers and pitch forks will come out to keep single payer a commie pipe dream.
I agree with you it was designed to fail but more slowly. The bottom completely came out from under it from day one and it crashed in Hindenburg style rather than a slow decay.
I can only hope, when (not if), single payer is the suggested solution, the American people rise up (Go Falcons!) as never before.
2014 will be interesting as DWS said democrats (small d, it’s intentional), will run on ocare. I betcha they don’t.
