Even if ObamaCare is left mostly intact, just a few minor changes will effectively repeal it. I am seeing more and more signs that those changes are going to end up in the final version of the bill. Just three of them will make the ACA basically irrelevant:

1. The end of the individual mandate.

2. The end of the employer mandate.

3. Allowing insurance carriers the option to offer low-cost catastrophic plans (which is what insurance is supposed to be anyway, isn't it?).

Item #3 is the single biggest one of all, because it gives the opportunity for insurance companies to develop plans that can offer lower premiums to their customers when the 2018 renewals go out later this year.

In regards to point 3, I asked a lib if they would pay $500 extra on their auto insurance instead of paying $5 to replace a break light. That said that would be stupid. I asked them why it was goood for health insurance.

They couldn’t answer that question.
