THAT my Friend WAS the point!
This is a FUBAR so we have to fix it with single payer
No offense, but it’s not Rocket Science if you comprehend the Evil.
Hard to do, but so true, Sorry if reality is hitting us all in the face!
I think it's easy to understand that this as intended as a stepping stone to single payer, but I can't see the rollout fiasco as part of that plan.
It seems to me that the segue would require the exchanges to get up and running, but be seen to be unsatisfactory for reasons of expense and coverage, etc.
To have the thing not even get off the ground makes it hard to sell the idea that well, we couldn't do that, but we can easily absorb the entire industry. So, I say it's a genuine fiasco. Of course, when chaos is afoot, who knows where it will lead.
Take heart. It will still be royally screwed up even with a single payer system.
