I had no idea the individual mandate was repealed. I need to get more of my news from people like ahuka.
Tha analysis of the forces involved in lawmaking is clear as always, and the conclusion that they will in the end drive toward a government-funded solution, but probably one unlike any of the others out there, is credible.

@lnxw37a2 On the other hand, the choice of going without insurance masks the fact how low that salary really is, by hiding the expenses it has to be compared to.
Changing the forces on the market changes the salary level. Just like imagining a restaurant market without tipping, all things never remain equal.

@lnxw37a2 Not saying people were happy to make the choice. If you don't like "choice", how about "option", "parameter" or "factor"?
It being there means radically lower upward pressure on bottom salaries.
