You guys don't understand how the design of PPACA prevents this.
If you take out the money, it's not Obamacare that collapses, it's the whole system.
Obamacare is a parasite on the system. But poisoning the parasite kills the host.
Well at the risk sounding like a nihilist, yes, that is the whole point. Obamacare is essentially the fruit of a poisonous tree. The whole funding and payment structure of healthcare delivery is rotten. We understand that the premiums and the taxes we pay outstrip the value of care we get over time. The reasons why we all accept this are a bit beyond the scope of a brief post, but basically it boils down to (IMO) massive gov't control at all levels of the system driven by voter's fear of a catastrophic bank-busting health event.
There are better, saner ways to do this. Maybe cold turkey is the way to go?
The largest banks were bailed out with this same thinking even though there were banks (Wells Fargo, US Bank, etc.) that did not have a lot of bad mortgage paper. If most of the big insurers fail others will step in.
