I don’t think you are following my reasoning at all. Throwing out the mandate but keeping in the rest of the act most definitely would crash the entire system. And that has been the liberal goal all along.
Throwing out all of the bill would give the system a chance to survive.
I doubt the system will crash. The plan does not really go into effect til 2013 and 2014. Mitt and the GOP will dismantle whats left if SCOTUS only throws out the individual mandate. I think its a false fear. I guess we will find out as the year wears on.
