What’s wrong with taking the mandate out of Obamacare?

The individual mandates are supposed to support it for the first few years. Without those, it crashes and burns. You want that, but most of the pols don't.

Sure does. The thing is, that's the way to put the pols on the hook. "You want Obamacare? You can have Obamacare. But it won't be a mandate." Remind them that when Obama was campaigning against hillary, he promised his health program would be voluntary. How could anyone vote against that and be re-elected?

I'd particularly enjoy watching the RINOs squirm. Methinks a real lot of them actually want Obamacare since their corporate paymasters in insurance and other industries have found a way to profit from it.
