That may have been the intent, but as the adage goes, "The best laid plans of mice and men..." I think it's the Obamacare failures that have made single-payer less likely to happen now. Particularly since people will know that the designers of Obamacare will be the ones who will be designing single-payer too. Sort of like a restaurant owner's thinking they'll have a packed restaurant later by offering his patrons crappy food and service now. Isn't going to happen.

It would have been a whole lot easier for people to want single-payer, if Obamacare had been successful. Then its authors could claim, "If you think Obamacare is nice now, we've got something called 'single-payer' that you'll really like.'"

So, I think it's more likely that people will demand what they originally had back.
