The public option is out.
Medicare Buy-in is out.

All we have left is a Medicaid subsidy expansion, and an alleged ban on rescission (except in cases of "fraud" and "willful misrepresentation", which is what most rescissions are based on currently),

in exchange for:

A personal mandate that people buy crappy private insurance, without any regulation to control costs or pricing.

Tough choice. It seems socialism is perfectly acceptable, as long as we are not just subsidizing, but mandating the purchase of a lobbyist's client's services.

The Singularity has already happened. Now we are merely discovering the consequences.

We are surviving serial crises in the growing shadows of slowly falling giants.
