    Atul Gawande Retweeted Sarah Kliff

    This is important to understand. No amount of reinsurance and subsidies will make up for the millions who will not sign up for coverage if the mandate is repealed without replacement. Millions drop even free coverage without a push to not put it off.https://twitter.com/sarahkliff/status/935913096723431425 …

        The #ACA is in real trouble if the #IndividualMandate is repealed; premiums will rise for everyone, offsetting large parts of the tax savings for many families - combining the #MandateRepeal in the #TaxCut plan is terrible policy.

        Will you PLEASE explain this to @SenatorCollins ?? She says this CBO analysis makes no sense and just voted for the tax bill to proceed to debate.

        The mandate is a progressive tax on the Working poor, paid by lower middle class Americans who earn $25000-$50000.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/28/us/politics/obamacare-individual-mandate-penalty-maps.html …

        Senator Obama in 2008: “we don’t need a mandate. If insurance is ‘a good deal’, folks will snatch it up because they are desperate for coverage.” Free is a good deal, right?

        AGREED - going backwards to a larger percentage of uninsured prior to the Affordable Care Act - not Affordable with Adverse selection creating higher premiums for those keeping insurance - WHICH we ALL pay for when they present to the ER without any insurance - COST SHIFT again !

        Pure moral hazard. What will it take for leaders to understand that the individual mandate spreads risk in the pool, making health coverage more affordable and efficient? That the $$ penalty is already so inconsequential, it's considered a "tax"?

        What is important is to realize that you have not thought this through as you did many clinical issues. You dilute earned authority by statements like that. Sad.

        @POTUS, @SpeakerRyan, @SenateGOP, @HouseGOP want sick Americans to die. Death is cheaper than care. The earlier the death, the more money is saved. As goes the ACA so goes employer sponsored plans. No EHBs No pre- existing protections.

        When the status quo is the baseline, any Republican effort needs to improve upon the coverage offered by #Obamacare – 20+ million. It's a enormous hurdle, and quite frankly, not their objective. https://twitter.com/sarahkliff/status/935913096723431425 …
