The Republicans have offered a gift to the Democrats that they do not even begin to understand. If the Republicans get what they are asking for (all federal government employees on Obamacare with no employee subsidies) it will become acceptable for businesses to do the same.
Business will no longer provide health care. All Americans will move to Obamacare. To make health care affordable to the millions of Americans who will lose their company provided benefits, as well as for those that already purchase their own, a law to socialize health care is inevitable. Also inevitable is a new tax to pay for this socialized health care.
To learn more about this issue, please read "The Mother of All Government Shutdowns" article below. The Democrats can turn this into a game-changer and the Republicans cannot see it coming.
Note: In the below article, I speculated that the Democrats already understood the gift the Republicans were giving them. As time passes without the Democrats accepting this gift I am not as confident that this is true.
