A recent column by Heather R. Higgins and Phil Kerpen really points the way
to how to get rid of this obnoxious program. Their ideas are similar to
ones I have ventured in this space.
Zero fund the fines for failure to buy insurance or offer it to one's
workers. No need to repeal it which would take 60 votes. Just zero out the
penalty and leave the "fine" on the books to rot away. Zero fund the fines
that penalize people for buying healthcare plans that are not as extensive
or expensive as the bureaucrats want. Let folks buy what they want -- or
nothing at all -- and let them keep, or revert if they can, to their old
policies. Any state approved plan should be OK under ObamaCare.
Keep the subsidies in place but with less coverage and lower premiums, the
subsidies will drop.
Keep coverage of pre-existing conditions and the prohibition against
terminating a plan or raising premiums if people become ill.
And then bring under Medicare -- or some other government subsidy --
everyone whose illness is so bad and chronic that they can't meet their
needs through insurance.
But Higgins and Kerpen add a new wrinkle -- they ask that Trump rescind the
Obama Administration ruling exempting members of Congress and their staffs
from ObamaCare requirements. In practice, this means cutting their premium
subsidies that currently pay for up to three-quarters of the cost. As
Higgins and Kerpen point out, "there is nothing as motivating as skin in the
game." By making members and staffers on Capitol Hill pay for more of
their insurance, you can bet a sharp reduction of cost will be soon coming.
Republicans can only pass bills that come under the reconciliation procedure
that only requires a simple majority in the Senate. The parliamentarian
decides what is kosher for reconciliation and what is an overreach. But
Republicans should feel free to override the parliamentarian's orders if
they need to do so.
Don't let the Republicans sell the idea that a full repeal has to wait for
years while a meaningless resolution signaling an intention to repeal takes
effect. This dodge and evasion would leave millions of people with plans
they can't afford or deductibles that bar access to services.
By a combination of executive orders and legislation that would not require
60 votes (because it is passed under reconciliation), get rid of this law
now! | m**********a

考虑到现有保险是去年年底签的，估计下次签之前还有效。猜想他的办法不外以下几个
，取消强制/开放市场/政府资助。
政府资助这快目标人群是这八年巴马声称的增加的1800万（有人说1300万）人群，让他
们去自由市场去买保险，在经过政府审查后可以报销一部分费用。 | m**********a
