sends "Obamacare" (that market based solution to universal healthcare) for a terminal dirt nap, what is to stop congress from creating a single payer system on the Top Down British or the more Organic French Model?
Constitutionally speaking, nothing stands in their way.
Except of course, the same Extreme Court packed as it is with malevolent reactionary ideological warriors and about ten thousand healthcare lobbyists in Washington eager to keep their phony baloney jobs and about a half a billion dollars in campaign contributions bribes, consultancy gigs etc etc etc.
But if "Obamacare" does go down, then it is an article of faith among wingnuts that Obama will be swept from office with it.
Historically, this does not hold up, Roosevelt survived the Judicial Extinction of the NRA in fine form, in fact the National Recovery Act's disappearance paved the way for new legislative initiatives notably the Social Security Act, Tax Fairness and the National Labor Relations Act.
All I can say to the differently winged is "Be Careful What You Wish For...."
