I wish that would happen but it is merely wishful thinking.
The Right will engineer crisis on purpose to profit from it. Their interests demand that they prolong crisis as much as possible in order to profit. Being faced with a system that will fail and kill thousands is just what they want and like. Their moronic devotees will revel in the misery because they will continue to blame it on the Left or Obama and use it to win elections. They will turn their followers against us for failing to do the impossible.
I think the only chance we have is to preserve the ACA with the mandate and use the law to gradually force private insurance companies out of the subsidy patient market. That;s the only way we can keep preconditions in the service and still move forward. I have every beleif that SCOTUS will help their corporate masters by saying yes to the mandate--after all, there is much profit to be made as the system transforms.
