What do you think? I think it's here to stay, there will be revisions just like other social programs which became law. The fear of the unknown is always scary. Once it kicks in, people will begin to love it. That's what conservatives fear the most.

once corporations figure out that single payer means they don't have to provide coverage, they'll lobby to get it done. hopefully, they'll be able to out-lobby the health insurance cartel.
I certainly hope it dies. All it's done so far is made pretty much everyone's premiums go up, despite the endless promises we were given that it wouldn't. If we were getting some kind of extra services for that extra money, I could possibly understand, but we're not. I hope we dismantle it piece by piece.
Having to provide healthcare coverage is a noose upon American business. They have to offer it partly due to competitive reasons, but you're right that a single payer system would be preferable to corporate American then the current system.
from what i've read, it's a vestige from the wage controls during WWII. no other first world nation does this, so it makes our own businesses less competitive. it seems intuitive to end this health insurance distribution model.
Not a chance of that happening.
I don't believe this claim is accurate. Can you provide anything that confirms this? I have heard that in some states some premiums will go up but in the majority of states they will go down from several sources. Thanks.
Premiums have already increased for a large number of Americans, and they're expected to increase even further. My parents premiums, for instance, have increased by about 30% over the last year. A lot of my friends have been cut back hours at work so that the employer doesn't have to give them medical. Now they're stuck with higher premiums and less working hours because of this.
It's simple supply and demand. We've tried to immediately increase the demand for healthcare services by mandating everybody buys it, but we haven't proportionally increased our healthcare industry. So demand is far outweighing supply, and because of that premiums have skyrocketed.

That is an image with... interesting electoral implications.
Both of these states will have plenty of opportunity, it seems, to ponder their 2012 selection.
As for the OP:
The actual Act itself will never be repealed - that would be a political battle the Democrats would have to fight to the death. But it will be amended into something that is completely unlike what it is today, for the simple enough reason that we cannot afford what it is today, and attempting to do so will cause the federal government to crash. Obamacare is such a disaster that it can't be fully implemented.

It will evolve and be modified into an even more truely spectacular mess as more "great ideas" are appended to or woven into it. Once federal gov't control is established, over anything, it will simply not go away.
Ha, yeah. If they were clever enough they would've subsidized the swing states instead of the states they already had like NY and CA.
I think if we put all the numbers, economics, and reality away for a minute, and just look at one big glaring fact: The politicians who wrote this ****ing bill exempted themselves from it.
That is all we really need to know that it's a terrible, terrible idea.
No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!
