So millions will live under a federal mandate to pay thousands per month for a crap medical insurance “plan” that they don’t even want and could buy elsewhere for one third the price.
All to subsidize Obama’s voters, including the ones in the country illegally.
God Bless Don Trump.
He needs it to fight the stupid scum like Lisa Murkowski.
Thanks to all the dumbscum in Alaska for voting for the crooked little poster girl for nepotism.
The mandate is dead. It is the lifeblood of Obamacare.
And all that that implies...
If you look at the yearly escalation....I would say in five years that around 50-million Americans will have given up on it, refusing to participate. At that point, you can start counting....it won’t make more than five or six years. We will end up with Medicare for all....regretting it greatly.
Various provisions of ObamaCare can be easily toppled through legal challenges on any number of fronts. The problem is that nobody has taken it upon themselves to mount those legal challenges -- mainly because nobody really has any standing to challenge those provisions unless they have an alternative plan set up that is outlawed under the current law.
The penalty for not following the mandate has been set by President Trump to $0.
Leftards predicted calamity and catastrophe in the wake of vitiating the mandate. The largest health insurer in my state said they’d need a 91% increase if the mandate was obsoleted.
We have a small group policy for our little company. Small group rates mirror individual rates. Our premiums had doubled since DeathCare was put in place, and our deductibles more than doubled.
I wasn’t looking forward to the coming year’s renewal increase. But some lonely conservative voices said the opposite of what the leftards said: if you get rid of the mandate, the insurance companies will have to compete on price to keep healthy people in their plans.
So, what happened? Leftard predictions of disastrous price hikes this coming year? Or conservative predictions of price hikes moderated by a little competition for business?
Well, we got our rates a week and a half or two weeks ago: We had a premium DECLINE of 0.26%. From the same insurer who was shouting that they’d need a 91% increase.
There really is more work to be done to tear down DeathCare, but Mitch has been working overtime on getting judges confirmed.
With a little luck, we’ll pick up seats in the Senate, and with a lot of luck, we’ll keep the House, and we can go back and attack this toward the end of 2019.
And we’ll need to keep the pressure on.
