I would tend to agree: my solution: pass a law that makes the entire thing optional.

Then the Dems won't have a counter about the GOP "taking away people's healthcare".

Like/dislike?

We tried that. Remember the shutdown? Remember the GOP fighting for delay? Remember all the GOPe screaming bloody murder about it?

---

Lol, when did we ask for making Obamacare optional as part of the shutdown?

The premise that makes it work is to lure in enough healthy participants to pay more so that some indigents can get it free.
The net result is people aren't going to declare their income so that they can qualify as indigent.

The voluntary opt out option negates the fleece the healthy and wealthy strategy and the system would collapse under its unbearable expenses.

King Barack the First didn't want to negotiate - remember?

They cant make obamacare optional..they need the money of the young and healthy to pay for the old and not healthy. The thing cant run without everyones participation. Just another way of spreading the wealth.

Republicans truly don't seem to understand that they serve a valuable purpose by simply BLOCKING the leftist agenda from taking over our lives.

Now most of them don't even try to do that, at least in the senate.

So if they end up voting in all the same crap, what exactly is the distinction?
