What does that mean? — Is the personal and employer mandate still in place?
The whole thing collapses if you don’t force people to buy insurance or have massive tax. One and the same according to the Supreme Court.
I'm wondering about that. A lot of those folks who avoid insurance are watching their costs and seeking low-cost alternatives. That keeps costs down and creates competition and innovation. Besides that, people who have insurance tend to milk it for every penny they can if they're going to go over their deductible.
If you listen carefully, one of the arguments to keep the system is the jobs that it supports. How many of those jobs are people doing things for people they could be doing themselves? Anecdotally, I don't know anyone who has insurance or more than Medicare Part A who doesn't have a lot of medical appointments and procedures and take a lot of medications.
I have no answers. Just questions.
