This bill repeals the taxes and the mandate. You can opt out of the whole thing and not pay a dime.

That's the key! If the mandate and taxes go away, then you have effectively killed Obamacare. And freedom is restored.

Don’t get fooled by the smoke and mirrors. The mandate has a different name but there is still a G’vt prescribed penalty for going without insurance, paid to the insurance company when you apply after a 2 month or more period without insurance. There are new entitlements and new drags on the economy.
