The Mandate Will Go Down

I hate to break it to fellow progressives, but the U.S. Supreme Court will rule against the health care mandate. Obama wanted to please insurance lobbyists with the mandate. GOP wants to defeat Obama. Guess who is going to win.

I have said repeatedly on this blog that I hate the health insurance mandate. The only reason for the mandate was to give private health insurers more customers.

Triangulation doesn't work. It is time for progressive to stop making excuses for Obama and demand that he govern on progressive goals. Neoliberal governing lost the 2010 election and is about to sink the pathetic excuse for health care reform.
