As soon as catastrophe-only policies with high deductibles are allowed, I’d wager a lot of the uninsured will choose that. That’s what insurance was before HMOs came to be.
Does the plan have provisions for major medical plans for those catastrophic medical events?

Also diabetes and other stuff. Happily married for 28 years, unambiguously hetero, but came down with diabetes 6 years ago at 49. I manage it by being a complete gym and diet fanatic (HATE it, but the wife likes me 90 lbs down and able to be run a half marathon or swing 50 pound kettlebells, so maybe what doesn’t kill me DOES make me stronger) - but if I don’t keep on top of it I am going to be losing body parts.... Really common with the crappy food and sedentary lifestyles many guys my age deal with, I’m blessed to have some discipline inculcated by the parents, or I’d be using a whole lot of medical resources now...

The difference between enrolled and ability to have health care. If the deduction is too high for health care it doesn't have it. Get rid of it completely. Work on healthcare across state borders, lowered prescription, etc. Why fix something that is failed. Trash it now. It will never been good and will be changed to the poor. We can't pay for it. 👍

Nonpartisan my butt. They are bound by the assumptions they are given by those requesting the analysis. Useless without knowing the requesters and the parameters.

Nonpartisan my butt. They are bound by the assumptions they are given by those requesting the analysis. VERY TRUE! You can be certain that the "Assumptions" set in the parameters for the "Analysis" rendered the requesters' ideal outcome!

Does the plan have provisions for major medical plans for those catastrophic medical events?I don't know. Perhaps someone else does. My assumption would be that if there's no mandate, the insurance companies could write whatever policies they wanted. If they can't, any reform is a farce.

Millions lost less expensive private coverage when Obamcare became the law, and because Obamacare mandated benefits increased premiums so much many people, millions, moved to being uninsured (cause their employers could not afford the plans they were mandated to carry, or to enhanced Medicaid if their income was lower enough under the new higher-income cut-offs for Medicaid.
Under Obamacare, the net change to the “insured” was positive as to the numbers covered by Medicaid and negative as to the numbers of those covered by private insurance.

Worse than that they are hanging this albatross around Trumps neck. Many republicans would be just as happy as democrats to see Obamacare-Lite sink President Trump.
They really don't want to change anything - they just want to go back to business as usual. .

According to the governments own statistics, there are currently 10.7 million Enrollees in ObamaCare and many of those are Mediciad so it's hard to see how 14 million are going to become uninsured if it s repealed
ObamaCare enrollment has been dropping about a million Enrollees a year as costs explode and ObamaCare implodes
