There is an excellent article by Jenkins on the WSJ editorial page that suggests that the better approach would be for the Republicans to embrace the mandate, since it was originally their idea, and drop all the rest of the bill.
The idea is to create a mandate that everyone carry some level of health insurance, but let the market decide what that level will be. Jenkins says that the private insurance market will take off and create many different policies at different levels of coverage.
You should read the article. It’s an interesting proposition and one that most of the Obama lovers cannot really fault because it actually provides a solution that Obamacare does not. It would actually lower the cost of health care as people became more responsible for paying for a larger proportion of their care.
