ACA was designed to fail but was budgeted/structured in such a way that the 10 year projection of costs would pass muster with the CBO. The plan was designed so costs would explode after about 10 years but by then ACA would be so interwoven into the health care and health insurance system that the transition to a single-payer plan would be more or less inevitable.

That seems to be what is happening right now, since we are just past 10 years since ACA started in 2014.

Yup. The democrats have always wanted government control of healthcare, and now they're going to use this to push for single payer even though they know we'd have to massively increase taxes and spending for it.

But they don't care. If this is something they can win elections on, they don't care about how much damage they do.
