@JayCaruso @ByronYork well, I think that's probably true. But I don't think there's a groundswell for repeal, either
@ThePlumLineGS Maybe a Dem proposal to eliminate the individual mandate could win majority public support. They could at least try it...

@ByronYork I don't see how you keep the preexisting conditions piece w/o a mandate -
@ThePlumLineGS Could explain how few Americans have been denied coverage b/c of pre-existing conditions; propose alternative solution. -
@ByronYork@ThePlumLineGS "Few Americans have been denied coverage b/c of pre-existing conditions." Seriously? -
@BoringOldWhtGuy Waxman did study in '10. Found that top four for-profit insurers had denied coverage to 651k in previous two years. -
@ByronYork It's a lot if you're one of them. -
@BoringOldWhtGuy@ThePlumLineGS@JohnJHarwood Sorry, have to leave this conversation. Not dumping out; gotta drive to Fox.

Eliminating individual mandate tantamount to repeal
@ByronYork@ThePlumLineGS -
@JohnJHarwood Well... I was just suggesting ways Dems could respond to majority opinion. -
On health care, like other complex policy issues, # of "majority opinions" limited only by # of poll Qs you can afford to ask
@ByronYork -
@JohnJHarwood@ByronYork Maybe they should poll Medicare for All. Bet that gets a majority now.

@ByronYork@ThePlumLineGS Eliminating individual mandate is just not realistic. -
@BoringOldWhtGuy Certainly figure WH tosses around--Jay Carney has said 129 million the last two days--is totally inaccurate.
