Whether they did this deliberately or not, it will work in the favor of those who support universal coverage, ultimately. By crossing the threshold whereby companies no longer have the power to say who they will or will not insure, they've crossed a line that can never (for political reasons) be un-crossed. We can never go back to the world of denied insurance or lifetime payout limits, which means that the only solution to the quagmire (which i agree is a bit of a mess, btw, but such is the nature of political compromise) is to move is closer to universal health care (like i said, the elimination of the individual mandate would require a huge medicaid expansion to avoid political disaster).
