Au Contairie

"the individual mandate is an arbitrary, pointless and painful tax on the poor. it doesn't even assist the ACA's goal of helping people with pre-existing conditions get insurance

The mandate inflates the cost of insurance products. It creates exemptions so vast that only 5% of the taxpayers are subject to it. and this tax hits people when they are at their most vulnerable after losing a job

Without the mandate the cost of supporting those with pre-existing conditions would be spread more evenly and broadly including those with employer-sponsored plans.

The individual mandate is not essential to ACA coverage expansion. it serves only to accentuate the laws inequities."
