The dem’s will no doubt prescribe single payer as ACA continues to kill, steal, and destroy...the bad news for liberals is that this disaster is educating a lot of the squishy middle on the dangers of full government control. Add to that monster deficits heaped on top of the already sinking medicare/medicaid programs and the erosion of trust caused by blatant lies about ACA, I think single payer is a much harder sell...you will only see dem’s from deep blue states supporting it.

I have a moonbat customer who was taking a obama victory lap at my expense when they announced the 7 million mark....I asked him since a large portion of the sign ups aren’t paying for it...how is going to be funded...?

His answer was the government.....he was a little dumbstruck when I reminded him....as a taxpayer he was actually paying for it...since the government has no revenue except taxes paid by you...

I had one of those true believers, also. Bragged about the “success” of Obamacare due to the sign ups. Yet, when pressed, couldn't name any successes except to repeat 7 million, 7 million.

This is their “Mission Accomplished” banner

It’s too late. By the end of next week, the administration will be crowing about new numbers indicating over 75 million owe their insurance to the ACA.

Why stop there, go all the way to 450 million and it will look like the the voting numbers of way over 100%.

Obama is the most successful snake oil salesman of all time. The very premise that you can install a massive federal bureaucracy and health care can be delivered and it will save money,etc. “won’t cost us one thin dime”, has always been ludicrous.
