[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And with the repeal of the individual mandate, if that survives the version that comes out of the conference committee, does it spell the death knell of the ACA?[/quote]

Yes. That's the insurance market death spiral. The whole system topples without the individual mandate.[/quote]
The individual mandate was so weak (enforced through a relatively small penalty) that it was death spiraling anyway. I can choose between $10,0000 in premiums or a penalty of around $1500. And lots of moderate earners are choosing to do the latter. You needed a REAL penalty for not buying in, but that was ruled unconstitutional because you can't force private citizens to buy a private product.[/quote]

The point was that the R Senators wouldn't vote for it as a stand alone but were fine once it was hidden in the tax bill. Not a lot of political courage there.[/quote]
OK, I'll give you you that. But it is still true that the mandate was ineffective. [/quote]

So... let's make it worse (???). [/quote]
