What if they drop the mandate and passed this, then followed up with reconciliation?

Or what if they passed this regressive legislation and never again did anything. We all will be at the mercy of corporations that have proven time and time again that they would rather see us die than spend any of their precious profits.

I feel like telling congress, "it's the mandate stupid". If not for that awful crappy, regressive, Tea Tax like, demand, it would be better than nothing.

But with the mandate it is worse than nothing.

At least now, when I can't afford the premiums, I can cancel. But what will be my choices with the mandate?
