Seriously, Senator Johnson?
Insurance companies are already cancelling policies. A new law isn’t going to help that. The old policies do not meet the minimum requirements Obamacare regulates.
Yesterday we saw a thread that Rep. Michelle Bachmann was trying to get a law passed that would make Obamacare voluntary.

Can these people not foresee the results of these kinds of law? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the ridiculousness of these proposals.
What’s wrong with taking the mandate out of Obamacare? If people didn’t have to buy it, policies that didn’t meet Obamacare requirements would emerge again. The longer the Obamacare mandate is in place, the worse the damage is going to be to medical care in the US.
That's the point of the law -- allow people to go back to whatever plan they had before the mandate, and essentially be waivered from the new requirements (both purchaser and seller).
It's brilliant, politically, because it takes Obama's promise and shoves it right back down his throat. It also will resonate with anyone who lost their plan.
