[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]
[b]The individual mandate was so weak (enforced through a relatively small penalty) that it was death spiraling anyway.[/b] 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]

So, Medicare for All would fix this right up. [/quote]
No argument from me. But universal care would still have issues. Still,  better than this mess we have now.

Problem is, Congress would never go for it. They've all been bought off by the insurers. [/quote]
