The Death Throes of Obamacare

Seems that more and more people, including Democrats, are doubting the survival of Obamacare in its current form. Walter Russell Mead has a great piece up about how even Obama campaigned against the individual mandate at one time.

As they sweat out the months before the Court issues its decision, the healthcare experts who drafted the bill don't know if it's dead, but revealingly enough they are already talking about what they should have done differently.

President Obama campaigned against the individual mandate at the heart of the controversy over constitutionality, and the decision to embrace it was not a natural one for him.

What's natural for Obama is to insert as much socialism into this country as he can, while he can. If that means an individual mandate, who cares about constitutionality?
