The #ACA is in real trouble if the #IndividualMandate is repealed; premiums will rise for everyone, offsetting large parts of the tax savings for many families - combining the #MandateRepeal in the #TaxCut plan is terrible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

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 !

@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.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
