Yeah I thought the mandate was unconstitutional. But still do not support gutting/sabotaging the ACA piecemeal. Only making things worse for the middle class in the process. Put together a damn plan that they think will work and pass that through the regular process. Not this reconciliation nonsense.
Schumer and Pelosi defined "regular process" until they can Impeach President Trump.
They are doing exactly what they promised - VOTE NO because they think that is the way to regain the House, Senate and Oval Office. They are arrogant enough to even admit it.

Oh give it a rest. As if Republicans weren't the very definition of obstructionists when Obama was in office.
The Mandate was directed towards the relatively cheap, young and healthy risks. Unaffordable relates to our typical Obamacare policy owner, who will of course have to pay even more sans Mandate.
I've never been a fan of the Mandate, having people buy something they don't want. It's not like Military Draft. That being said, the insurance industry told us they needed this to make Obamacare work. I still believe them. Time will soon tell.
I support UHC for the country and I support abolishing this for much the same reason. Those who can not afford the high cost of health insurance also can not afford this tax.
The irony is also notable. Obama says it is not a tax. The Supreme Court has to rule it was a tax to uphold the entire thing. Now it gets shot down because it was a tax.
Why we couldn't have simply done the right thing from the beginning is sad. Now it's all going to crash and it's going to take years to get someone that people trust to try and do the right thing and that is exactly what I said would happen when Obamacare passed.
When they passed it, they INTENDED for it to crash so that they could offer single-payer as the "solution". It's a typical Big Government trick, break something and then offer to fix it, giving them more power of course, as the "solution".
I actually agree with you on that. They sided with this to get a payout from the mandated insurance purchasing requirement, even though long term, it will destroy them (Enron CEO mentality). I don't think they want a truly free market system because then healthcare would be so affordable that insurance companies would no longer be needed.
I see them as a hindrance to good healthcare, though not for the same reason as the Left.
Yeah...but figure out what the alternative is first. Republicans have a real opportunity to earn the “moral majority” title but are instead just deciding to be hypocrites.
And WHERE's the ACA's much better replacement the Liar in Chief told us we'd have immediately after he took office?
John McCain said no.
