I say again: Let ObamaCare FALL under its own weight.
Make it a MISERABLE AS POSSIBLE for the DemocRATS ! Don't lift a finger to help them.

If it's as you say, what makes you think it would survive "Reconciliation" after the Senate with that provision it it ?
Levee it alone, and don't do one thing to it.
Let it COLLAPSE UNDER ITS OWN THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN !

People really need to think in terms of tangible results, rather than the most satisfying option here.

Sure, it would have given a lot of people great satisfaction to send Al Capone away for murder, conspiracy, etc. But, realistically and practically, it was tax evasion that got the job done.

Killing the individual mandate knocks the stool out from underneath ObamaCare, putting it into a death spiral.

However, even that is unlikely to happen. Instead the Senate GOP will try to pass a plan that has zero hope of passing the House, but the Democrats will filibuster it anyways. So status quo (aka, you get the “natural” collapse you are asking for) and the obstructionist Senate Democrats get to eat the blame going into 2016.

This isn’t helping the Democrats - they won’t support this. Obama probably won’t sign it either. This is destroying the governments ability to MANDATE your health care, which is what the Democrats wanted and what Obama wants. It leaves a tiny shred of the law in place, but toothless.

Now I agree it would be good to let it fall under its own weight.....and I agree that this Congress doesn’t have the stones it takes to do that, and I’m not sure the American public does either.

However, this will make the law leave you alone. That should be your main concern. It isn’t....obviously....for whatever reason....since conservatives are supposed to want to be left alone.
