“Repeal it all. People managed to get medical care and arrange insurance before the government got involved.”
So do you have any idea what people are going to do between repealing O-Care and getting that insurance?
Is there any plan for people getting insurance without the few companies left charging them extortion prices after they all colluded to write O-Care?
The problem is that our side only gives a crap about repealing O-Care, but has not the foggiest idea about the chaos afterwards.
What is the plan to move people out of this system, and back into the “free market” without them getting gouged and fleeced by sky-high premiums?
I don’t think it would be as bad as you assume.
If people know when they are transitioning, they will make arrangements in advance.
The government should permit any company that can demonstrate sufficient reserves to write medical insurance, and should only regulate them to the extent necessary do ensure that they are not engaging in deceptive marketing.
The transition can be arranged in ways to minimize shock, such as phasing the transition dates, so that only 2% of the population transitions in any given week.
Broaden competition, and the price gouger will get very little business.
