Or are you talking about mandatory health insurance? In that case, it's something that everyone needs, just like car insurance. Reduces the tax burden from paying for emergency room visits, sickness spreading and becoming endemic, loss of productivity. Reduces the tax burden far more than it will cost.

Repigs stripped out single-payer.

Not going to speculate on your motives here.

Who do you think wrote the law?

strip it out. Like the professionals that are expected to do the work, single payer was never allowed into the discussion at all by the Democrats.

"Profit and bonuses," and second third fourth and fifth homes. (Plus possibly ownership of a sports team or two as well.)

For those who are optimistic, I'd say the term is delusional. (Sure it could all lead down the primrose path of arriving at Universal Single Payer HC, but I actually think it will mean more laws and regs for those buying the "product." Who knows, should a consumer take up more than ten minutes of some doctor's time, and it could be, in the near future, a felony.)

For those of us who remember an ardent, passionate and seemingly sincere young man running for the Illinois Senate, it could be called a "betrayal of hope."

For FDR's ghost, it could be called "spinning in the grave."
