I thought the "fan" year was 2018 when the "Cadillac tax" kicked in, where health insurance companies will get hit with a 40% tax on "Cadillac health care" plans (the ones that don't suck, that were frequently put in place by union negotiation), forcing them to pass the costs onto the insured, causing those insured to drop the plans, and therefore making sure that people who once had "Cadillac" health care plans have to downgrade their health care coverage to whatever the lowest common denominator will be in 2018. Of course the geniuses who came up with this plan KNEW that these "Cadillac" health care plans were subsidizing health care costs for the underinsured and uninsured, so that when they go away, it will force a single-payer system if Obamacare can survive.
