I’m not sure who did not see this coming.

Only the naïve conservatives who kept screaming and laughing "Ha! That Obama is so dumb he doesn't know what he's doing! This is a train wreck!"

I knew this was a step before single-payer even when they were "debating" the bill.

“But there will likely be millions of white working-class voters on Medicaid in the coming years.”

And, once on Medicaid, government has the ability to seize people’s assets, put leins on homes, and, once they’ve been sucked dry in life, they’ll confiscate entire estates after death. This was/is the aim of Obamacare.

I’ll never believe it was a mistake that the web site was designed so poorly. Obama’s election was won by high tech use of this type of technology. All of a sudden they get stupid? I’m not buyin’ it.

People have been avoiding this for years by setting up trusts.

I don’t think they go after assets until after death.

If someone doesn’t want Medicaid they can buy insurance on their own and avoid the exchanges.No one is forced on Medicaid.

Gee, Noam. You write like you had no clue this was the objective.

You need to read FR more.

Eventually the income test will be dropped and Medicaid will become the American version of Canada’s Medicare - which is actually ten provincial-run single payer health care plans.

Vermont is adopting the first such state single payer health care plan in the country beginning in 2017 because it borders Quebec that already has a provincial single payer health care plan.

Its going to take some time for the rest of the country to follow suit. And conservatives will make their peace with it just like Canadian conservatives have accepted Canada Medicare is the Third Rail of Canadian politics. Touch it at your own risk.
