I saw a historian on "Hard Ball" say that if Obamacare is struck down it will be 17 years before another attempt at Health Care Reform occurs and at that time it will be further right than it is now. A couple of things crossed my mind.
First, since when has an Historian's role been to assume mantle of the Oracle at Delphi? No one knows the future. No one.
Second, if Obamacare is struck down it is time for Progressives to DEMAND Democrats cut their affiliation with the For Profit Health Care Industry, forgo all campaign contributions from the For Profit Health Care Industry, and make getting Comprehensive Universal Single Payer Health Care for the American people their primary aim.
If he Democratic Party balks at that, then NOW is the time for Progressives to abandon the Democratic Party, and form their OWN political Party, and get this done.
The world didn't end, as Harold Camping suggested, and claims there will never be Single Payer or a Progressive Party are just as absurd as forecasting the Rapture, or that the next iteration of Health Care Reform that occurs, should Obamacare be overturned, will be further Right.
