You're asking the wrong question.
The question is, now that 28 million people are going to lose health insurance at the same time that the rich get massive tax cuts at the expense of the poor, adding over a trillion to the national debt, how do we thank Trump for making us great again?
If those people drop out of the market will Obama Care die?

Now that people will no longer be punished financially for not having health insurance many will choose to stop coverage they really can't afford right now.

Originally posted by @eladarI never thought the individual mandate was desirable or necessary and I suspect that the ACA can survive its demise if the Trump administration stops trying to sabotage it by other means.
Now that the mandate is thrown on the trash heap of history, how much longer can Obama Care survive?
The next time the Dems are in control will we get true socialized medicine with insurance only for the 1 percent?

I have my doubts that that many will choose to take such a foolish risk.

Most twenty somethings will benefit by saving on their premiums. I know I would have been just fine.

Anybody who can afford health insurance who goes without it is a goddamn fool.

Why will they not be able to afford it?

Originally posted by @no1marauderReally? If I could have pocketed the money spent on my health insurance, I would have walked away with 30k easily, probably more like 50k.
