Yes, as you and other posters have noted, will be interesting to see how the good Doctor feels about this at age 75. He'll have grandkids, life expectancy will probably be expanded etc. In any event, if he wants to pull his own plug that's up to him. But, my question remains ... how much influence does the architect of the ACA have on the edifice he built?

To simply say "none" as a matter of religious like belief is incredibly naïve. It's also interesting to see how true believers quickly, and literally, get indignant for even raising the question. It's like they've switched their skepticism buttons into mute mode. Whatever happened to that timeless bromide on the Left about "question authority? "

Be that as it may, any other civil observations or thoughts on this topic are welcome ...
