I do not like the #ACA & I really dislike the mandate...but the system needs the mandate to function. Simply removing the mandate would be way worse. ACA needs incremental positive change or a decent replacement. The @GOP replacement was bad. Write better law.

The ACA puts us in a weird hybrid where it doesn't say the government is putting it in the bundle, it just makes it illegal not to have it. (More than that of course since it's thousands of pages) There are carrots (subsidies) & sticks (tax penalties).

But since coverage comes from multiple sources (employers, private pay, government), & has different buy-in types (#of people/group plans, regulated market price, sliding fee) I don't think we've had the right conversation as a country as to how we handle healthcare.

I think there are several completely valid conversations to be had about how and why we tax people. I also think we skipped some pretty critical conversations with healthcare for who pays what and how is it provided.
