I'm confused. Democrats passed Obamacare without a single Republican vote in the House or Senate. If they really wanted single-payer, couldn't they have passed it the same way?
Looks like what stopped them wasn't the threat of Republican "nay" votes; they got those anyway. What stopped them was a whole bunch of Democrats who would have jumped ship.
Yep, that's one of the points of this article by Debra Saunders, Lies the Democrats Tell Themselves.
