        interesting replacement to the mandate.. punishes you for not having insurance, but not with a fine.

        No fine, but a 6-mo. period of playing roulette when you drive a car, cross a street, or anything else that might injure you...

        Right, they essentially replaced a monetary punishment with a risk-based one. They should add an exemption for those who lose their job

        That way you encourage people not to go without insurance -- but don't punish someone down on their luck.

        This is not something an elected official adds to a bill if they're truly working on behalf of the people they've been elected to serve.

        The purpose of it though is to encourage people to keep their health insurance. Whether it does more harm than good, we will probably see.

        What happens when you get laid off or are a seasonal construction worker. Terrible for them.

        Same as before, only a wait to purchase again but no fine. They should add an exemption to those who lose their jobs though I think.

        .@SenateGOP Logic: Uninsured people are bad for the market. We'll fix the problem by forcing the uninsured to stay uninsured longer.

        People who "let" their insurance lapse. Like they're doing it on purpose.

        Lapses can mean any number of things in the insurance world. As a licensed insurance agent, nuance is a huge deal. This is a bad deal.

        Republican Party has no empathy with the poor and throwing 26 million Americans off health care is its idea of sound political conduct. Wow!

        Its as if they said "wait, are we sure that there aren't some more ways to screw people over?" So they added this in.

        Please explain how BCRA is going to help. Sincerely, I want to understand the plan. How is it going to provide care to all Americans?
