In MA, Romneycare has affected significant number of people who could afford health insurance, but chose not to buy it.
That includes young people who do not see the need for insurance.
What we need in this country is total relaxation of restrictions on health insurance. We should be be able to buy insurance from out of state. And get away from the deluxe insurance Obamacare requires us to buy. How about a catastrophic health situation only insurance which would be lower cost and young people would be willing to buy it.
The lower income people you refer to will always be a burden on others. No change there. Romneycare has changed nothing for them.

This leaves the problem of pre-existing conditions. Rand Paul has suggested 30-year health policies, like life insurance plans.
Makes sense to.me.
I agree. The so-called freeloaders should be offered catastrophic only health insurance at low cost, as opposed to being forced to buy expensive insurance that they are statistically unlikely to use.
