Neither SinglePayer nor a PublicOption have any chance of ever being the law of the land with Obama's legislation.
The only reason Republicans would want to kill Obama's health insurance reform legislation would be to reintroduce it with their own name blazened on top of it. It's Republicans' legislation to begin with! It's a boon to the insurance and pharmaceutical industries.
If you don't want to believe that the parties work in tandem, build upon each other's 'successes' (on behalf of corporations), just look at Bush's 2003MedicareReformAct and RomneyCare, both of which mirror ACA, and keep the problem in place (insurance companies as the gatekeepers to Americans getting medical treatment and employment-provided insurance, both of which EVERYBODY wanted ended, skyrocketing costs of medical care, no cost controls and not universal)? Then there's Obama's embracing of 'UnitaryExecutive' put forth by BushCheney? And Obama's expanding on it? And Obama's war on whistleblowers and journalists?
If you can't believe you were duped and insist Obama's really a good man, if you insist on deluding yourself, then consider our elections as a business plan where the 'Corporate Masters of the Universe' have charted out their plans years in advance (governments do them, too) and then they select the politician with the personality that's best able to achieve those plans in 4 year increments.
If you want to lie the country into war for oil and war-profiteering, then GeorgeWBush is the man to front it, with DickCheney, the former Secretary of Defense who initiated the privatizing of the military a decade earlier, actually running the operation from the shadows (neither one seems to care if they're caught in l!es, are hated, and if history judges them harshly).
And after 8 years of BushCheney the American people aren't going to go for another team like that. They're going to want HOPE and CHANGE, with a persona they can believe in and trust. BarackObama. Obama's fans like the packaging. I'm not talking skin color, although that may be a factor for some of them; I'm talking about how a 'D' after the name is a brand they trust believe and trust in, despite the fact that it's the same 'soap' (product).
