Liberals vs. ObamaCare

This may be the exception that proves the rule, but as George Mason University law professor Ilya Somin reports, at least one cohort of liberal activists has come out against ObamaCare and filed a friend of the court brief urging the Supreme Court to strike down the individual mandate. Their reason? They'd rather see the U.S. with a single payer health care system. As Somin writes:

The organizations represented in this brief (Single Payer Action, It's Our Economy, and a group of fifty physicians who support a single payer system) do seem to believe that getting rid of the mandate would help pave the way for a single payer system – though the legal arguments in their brief don't rely on this idea. So there are at least some single-payer advocates who want to abolish the mandate and believe that this will help their cause in the long run.
