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.

They can now. All they need is the money for the premiums.

What is driving up the cost of health care premiums are the requirement that pre-existing conditions be covered, prescription coverage, and the fact that there is no cap on how much an insurance company is liable to cover. Nothing in the current GOP plan addresses any of those. In fact it includes all of them. Add in government subsidies and how are premiums supposed to go down?
