- AnimalMuppet 8y agoShould be. Obamacare was supposed to "bend the cost curve", too. I haven't seen recent hard data, but my impression is that it didn't work as advertised. Note well: I have no opinion on whether this idea will in fact work. I'm merely pointing out that one should not take politicians' claims on such matters at face value.
- zepto 8y agoIf it actually is single a real single payer system, then maybe this is fine, but it’s just as likely that the mandate gets established, but the single payer part fails to materialize.
