Doesn’t Obamacare outlaw free-market health insurance companies from selling insurance? So, if you do not purchase an Obamacare health insurance plan there will be no other insurance available for you to purchase on the market.

Alternatives to health insurance schemes, which provide fee-for-service -

Non-traditional practitioners, essentially herbalists and “wellness” clinics.

Mutual support societies, in which an affiliated group all pay into a common fund, and services are paid for out of their pooled resources.

Pay out of pocket, negotiating with the service provider directly, discount for cash.

Or go to the old standby, Health maintenance organizations, which were despised and loathed by everybody.

Obamacare did not outlaw health insurance sales directly, only demanding that certain services must be provided by all insurers. Once this mandate is removed, free market health insurance plans will abound.
