if people want health insurance they can go buy it, nobody stopping them and plenty are selling it.
And nobody will be able to stop the insurance from happily accepting premiums payments, and then when the person really needs to use the insurance, thank them for their loyal business and promptly deny/drop them.
Competition? Not if all the insurance companies act that way, which they will. They've got profits to make.
We've talked about this. GOP couldn't come up with a healthcare plan that didn't devastate coverage for millions (because the Democrats beat them to it by blowing up and pricing millions out of the health insurance market)
Show me a viable "100%" solution to damn near anything.
The closest to 100% solution would be mandatory universal health insurance like they have in other first-world nation's with superior healthcare systems to ours, but that will never happen here.
By the way, even the Repub proposals had a penalty for not participating, it's just they put it in the hands of the insurers who get to price discriminate against you into perpetuity if your coverage lapses due to financial hardship. Tell me that wont be even worse punishment than the annual tax you paid under O-Care. At least that one wouldn't jack your rates up 20% over market for years.

The bar was set to barely clear the status quo. We should demand and expect better.

Because people either make excuses or refuse to vote for it.
This won’t get rid of Obamacare. The only thing they will accomplish by this is raising premiums. Brilliant move.
ACA caused my premium to go up almost 200% the last few years. NO, the rate of increase did not slow down
