Obamacare

     So I am wondering how everything is going to go with the so-called Affordable Care Act. Is it going to collapse on itself or will it work well? If it does collapse, will the Democrats make the push for full-on single-payer? Personally, I am hoping the program collapses and that we do not end up with any single-payer system. I think there are better ways to repair the healthcare system of our country, and I do not want the government having such centralized control and/or influence over such a large portion of our economy.

     I do worry about the direction of the United States, because we have seen what excessive spending has done to quite a few of the European nations. And unlike those nations, which do not have to spend much on national defense, the United States does, in order to maintain the global peace. So if the U.S. goes to route of the European social democracies, what happens to our military budget?
