first again people ought to stop with the scare mongering.
"Again removing the individual mandate can serve to meld the cause of tax and healthcare reform.
Again Obamacare under delivered CBO predictions were wrong and Obamacare is 60% below its enrollment target
The mandate translated into a tax between $695 ans $13,380 imposed on 6.5 million American households
While ACA provided coverage to individuals with pre-existing conditions it did so by yielding plans that are well above the needs of most consumers. The average
premium was $5,712 in 2016
a recently released study by the Manhattan Institute demonstrates that the ACA's mandate is superfluous to the the ACA's core guarantee of affordable coverage for individuals with pre-exiting conditions
the ACA deliberately carved out the healthiest upper middle class out of the exchange risk pools by giving adults under 26 the right to claim coverage under their parents employer-sponsored plans. so much for shared responsibility.
Of the 18 million people enrolled in the individual mandate , only two million are estimated to have pre-existing conditions.
Repeal of the individual mandate would allow the bulk of them to choose soon to be deregulated insurance at half the cost of the ACA complaint plans "

In my view health insurance providers ought to be able to market across state lines. they ought to be able to market products that fit people's needs.
for those individuals truly destitute shared risk pools should be established and shared in proportion of an insurance companies health insurance population.
Also medicaid subsidies ought to be block granted out to individual states to be used as they situations deem vis a vis being held by the fed.
