If Obamacare Insurance was no longer Mandatory, would Liberal Democrats still buy it?

What would be the incentive for increased consumer demand for purchase of an Obamacare Insurance Policy instead of purchasing a policy from a private insurance company?

After one year of competition on an open insurance market, how would Obamacare rate in terms of new policies, customer satisfaction, customer privacy, customer recommendations to others, and profit margins?

After five years of insurance sales, would Obamacare still be operating at a net financial loss?

Could a non-mandatory Obamacare be packaged for sale to a private Insurance Company?

What would the the Fair Market Value of the privatization sale of Obamacare?

If Obama's Socialized Health Insurance Tax has little or no chance of financial success in 5 years, then why do Federal politicians in "both" political parties try to replace instead of ABOLISH Obamacare?

No one would actually ever BUY it and PAY for it... THAT'S the point.

Whole swaths of American workers have to be very crudely coerced or else it can't even be FUNDED!!!

GET IT?

I don't know.

My mom (retired age 90) is being shoved off her plan. The plan she worked for her entire life.

We are directed to the O’care BS ‘Extend Health’ phone number and after SEVERAL calls, I have YET to successfully get a response from THEM. It's always dead air no matter how many times you call or how long you stay on the line.

We have until Jan 1 to get coverage or else we're screwed... the old plan will lapse and we will be out in the cold. For THIS we worked!!??

no one is going to buy this POS

it will be given away FREE (with substantial ‘subsidies’) until it is too late- THEN when there are no more insurance companies the government will take over and force everyone to pay

this is a HUGE tax increase on the poor (yes, they will have to pay too)

Obamacare-compliant insurance policies are issued by private insurance companies. There is no “public option” in Obamacare.

Well said.

My hope is that our sorry Democrat and Democrat’s Republicans in the US House and Senate have learned that ANY Federal Insurance is doomed to finance failure.

And MANDATORY Federal Insurance is always a MANDATORY financial failure.

Medicare bankruptcy taught them nothing and now Obamacare is teaching only those who can see, hear and think.

Unfortunately, so far as I can tell that excludes all Democrats and RINOs in US Congress - - - - .

Lemme see now, if “there is a fool born every minute,” and there must be 7 million fools that buy an Obamacare policy of Socialized Health Insurance Tax by 3-31-14, then will the birth of these new fools be rapid enough to replace the fools that are buying support for this Insurance Tax?

Obama Federal Socialism requires a lot of fancy Math!

BTW, wasn’t Obama’s failing Math grades the main reason that Obama’s School Records were Sealed by a friendly Judge?

“Federal politicians” and “financial success” in the same sentence?

Same thing that would happen if ANY socialist plan were optional -

those that want to freeload would get onboard,
those who would have to pay for it would opt out.

If you watched the FOX TV show “Special Report” last night you heard George Will say this memorable quote when talking about the effect that Obamacare has had on Americans:

“THERE ARE PEOPLE RUNNING IN RATIONAL TERROR.”

In addition to enslaving us on the Barrycaded Obamanation Plantation, would you agree that Obamacare decreases “Freedom of Choice,” violates the US Constitution, and violates the US Anti-Trust Laws?
