A Reconciliation Bill is LIMITED with respect to what it can do. It can repeal or replace funding and spending items, but it cannot NOT change “policy”.

Then why not a bill like they passed last year which eliminated the individual subsidies, the Medicaid expansion, and the payments to insurance companies? Do those three and Obamcare is dead, stripped of funding. Why all the extra crap of tax credits and the like that turn this into Obamacare's bastard offspring?

I think eliminating the “mandate” that requires individuals and businesses to buy ObamaCare will allow everyone but the truly poor and the truly sick to buy private health insurance — if they want to do so.

AND, the avoided costs and the tax credits will make it attractive for new health insurance policies to be offered in forms people want, whether basic or Cadillac or some forms in-between.
