What would happen if Obamacare was actually struck down?

- We get "radical reform"

This.

Let's not kid ourselves here: if Obamacare is completely thrown out, then people will be thrown off their insurance. Grannies will be killed. Many will be bankrupted. Rock bottom will be hit. People will start to really get the picture.

We'll then be left with a choice between (in all likelihood) Medicare for All or Trump's beautiful "plan" that will cover everybody & cost less money but he can't tell you any of the details.

As sad as it is to say, the price tag for Medicare for All may very well be the deaths of many people who benefit from Obamacare.

The Republicans would get wiped out electorally and we'd probably end up with Medicare for all or single payer.

These are the same thing.

Whoops, I thought single payer meant full nationalization.

No, pure nationalization of the health care supply (e.g. the UK's NHS) is something that's not even contemplated in the most ambitious current American proposals.
