    What a joke. Aside from a few good provisions, this law is looking more and more like a total scamhttp://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/10/26/obamacare-premiums-penalties/ …

        But remember, it's rather gauche to litigate the incumbent president's signature legislative initiative. Instead let's focus 24/7 on Trump.

        No. Under 26 staying on parents' plans, pre-existing conditions, and Medicaid expansion don't rely on that.

        only way to get premiums down is through a larger penalty. That's how the Swiss model works. Need more healthy ppl in system

        I'm not an expert on this but I really doubt a larger penalty is "the only way." It's an unjust burden on the non-insured.

        Yeah. I don't think we disagree. My pref would be single payer, failing that, a heavily regulated private system.

        my point was just that a harsher mandate appears to be one of the necessary regulations in the private model.

        It's not a scam so much is a bad business model. High risk pools don't work without price controls. Medicare does, Ocare doesn't.
