In spite of Rush’s repeatedly loud warnings, I see no basis in the current law for a single payer system.

The congress must legislate a single payer

The 2014 elections are of supreme importance. The rats will try every dirty trick there is. And who do we have to fight them? The IRS tried to take out the Tea Party (can you believe how bad this is???) and the GOPe doesn't care. It's up to us.

There's a well established line of cases standing for the proposition that the use of the "instrumentalities" of Interstate Commerce subjects one to the ICC. I can't think of any company in this day and age that goes not utilize those instrumentalities - they include just about every means of communication employed in the contemporary world. The ICC has been expanded to the point that it has become a license for the feds to regulate any enterprise they want to get their hooks into.

Exactly. My prediction is that Obamacare will cause so much strife, suffering, and economic dislocation, that Congress' credibility will be so utterly low that they won't be able to pass such legislation.

In the end, the American people are going to demand that Obamacare be ripped out by its roots and cast into the fire.

No they won't, because nobody is going to do anything. Why bury them, because when it reaches that point, is exactly the time you're going to need them in hand.

Which is the agenda, spoken or not, of the push to move the House and Senate deep into the hands and power of the Demon Rat party in 2014.

That is certainly the precedent. Scalia and Thomas regularly ridicule extensions of that in dissenting rulings.

Its very length is proof to any logical person that there was never any intent for it to succeed as advertised. All one need know is that the government intends to reform health care and you know that the results will be disastrous REGARDLESS of intent. To know the length of the bill is to know that no human could possibly read, understand and retain the meaning of all that without years of study and even then most people lack the capacity to understand it even if such a thing could be written in a coherent manner which is impossible at that length. Then when you have legislators admitting they don’t know what is in it yet they vote for it anyway and the speaker of the house makes the astounding statement that it must be passed before you can find out what is in it it becomes blatantly obvious that there was NEVER any benign intent behind this absurd monstrosity. The thing that is so maddeningly frustrating to me is that so many voters still cannot seem to grasp the evil intent behind this assualt on human dignity.

"They can’t.. Insurance companies are to weak kneed to fight it."

Oh contrare. The Insurance companies stand to make trillions of dollars in the final cut. They're obombacare's biggest proponents. Pretending like they are victims and "only doing what the law says" they "have to do" keeps them shielded from any examination that will shed light on this truth. There is a lot of blood on the insurance companies hands and they love it. They are orgasmic with the reality that every single person in America now HAS TO buy insurance. They are also excited that they will now no longer have as many, if any, insurance agents they will have to share the booty with and... obombacare's exchanges will help to insure that smaller, less established insurance companies cannot compete. Ever belong to a Union? These exchanges are set up the same way. It's a good'ol boy network. If "we" like you you can join. If we don't... take a hike.

No... the antichrist (aka - barack o bamah) knows exactly what he is doing and who to align with.

... or the government will buy it for them, from said companies. Same thing as far as they are concerned.

Republicans really are in the stupid party. All they have to do is start pointing out this is not about affordable care. It’s about affordable insurance. And it even failed on that issue.

People who have nothing to lose will eventually lose it, expect to see politicians suffer for voting for this law.

I expect some people whose hearts are utterly broken over the loss of someone they love as a result of Obamacare will reach out and touch someone in the power structure.

When people have nothing to lose, they lose it.

I’m guessing that’s what they are counting on.

129 million losing their health might not turn out as expected, though.

To them, that’s a lot less people to worry about and less mouths to feed.

“How do the feds have authority to tell them what kind of product they can sell when there is no interstate commerce involved?”

How ‘bout “Authoritay Uber Alles”?

I don’t think that “single payer” is inevitable. The GOP has outright control of a 26 of the states. Dems only have 19. The final five are mixed.

http://www.multistate.com/state-resources/governors-legislatures

Health care is by and large a local phenomenon - licensing of medical practitioners, siting of hospitals and facilities, etc. Therefore costs are mostly a local phenomenon. These states can do a lot to undermine federal control and lower costs to their residents.

Also, if we have “sanctuary” cities for illegals, why not sanctuary states for health care providers and their patients?

If ‘Single Payer’ goes to SCROTUS, it might die there even with Roberts.
