Could GOP Governors Be The Key To A Future Single Payer System? [View all]

Some GOP Governors are saying they will not set up a health benefit exchange. It is my understanding that ACA allows for the Federal Government to create one for them, if they don't or are unable to do it.

Assuming 5 or 6 states go this route, for whatever reason, the Feds are going to create one IT system that can serve any state without an exchange. Seems like that would be part of the infrastructure groundwork for Single Payer.

How deliciously ironic if dumb-assed tea-infused GOP Governors unwittingly advance the cause of Single Payer.

This would elevate President Obama to the title of Grand Master of Three Dimensional Chess.
