Now he gets the chance to attack both Obama and the PPACA. A win-win for him!

Don't get me wrong. I like Jon and all the good he's done in the past, but he's clearly on a crusade against the PPACA and the president who, he believes, didn't "fight hard enough for" single-payer even though it took Canada 30+ years to get their single-payer, universal health care system in place - and Canada's population, as of 2013 is at 35,158 million, is far smaller than the U.S.' 350 million! Can you imagine how long it would take us to implement a single-payer, universal health care system in this country of that many people??
