Incredible: Single Payer way more popular than ObamaRomneyCare.

105. There were ways that COULD have worked.

The American Public would have supported letting unemployed and unemployable Americans between 55 & 65
BUY Medicare,
especially IF the Obama Administration marketed this as Economic Relief during a crisis,
and not as a Health Care Reform.
Obama may have been able to do this with an Executive Order,
but it certainly could have been done with 50 votes.
After THAT, expanding MediCare coverage to every American would have been unstoppable.

The Democrats BIG mistake was in the marketing.
They learned NOTHING from the Clinton HealthCare failure.
They could NOT have done a worse job if they has wanted to FAIL.

I live in a very rural, very red, very poor part of the South.
People here were afraid of a Comprehensive Package that was unreadable, unexplainable, and easy to brand as "Big Government."
When I asked locals here if they would like to be able to BUY MediCare,
EVERYBODY said, "SURE!"
Most people have a family member on MediCare.
They aren't afraid of it.

This was a case of Failure by design,
or failure by incompetence.

If it looks bad NOW,
wait until 2014 when Americans find out about The Mandate,
and 40 Million - 70 Million are FORCED to buy "Bronze" (JUNK) Insurance on The ("Big Government&quot Exchange.
Democrats will be unelectable for a generation.



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
