You do realize that Obamacare makes it a lot more likely any single payer plan will be accepted in the future, right? If people are already forced to buy a private plan and medicaid has been expanded then it isn't a leap to just cover everyone and move to a single payer system. This is more true if the exchanges start covering lots of people, in this case, the government has a direct interest that private care is being provided efficiently. I would briefly point out that the $20,000 a year plans you refer to was an example number that the IRS used to illustrate how the law works and not a projection of the cost of healthcare plans in the exchange.
