The most hilarious thing about this Individual Mandate kerfuffle is that the Democrats included it as a giveaway to AHIP, built off an idea fashioned by the Right Wing Heritage Foundation, that would have entrenched the For-Profit Health Care system in a National Health Care Plan, but now the Republicans are attacking it, for it is the weakest link in Obama's ACA. I mean, its like the scene in Catch-22 when Milo Minderbinder, during WWII, uses the US Air force to bomb its own Airbase as part of a contract his Syndicate made with the Germans.
The Republicans are destroying their own concept in going after the Individual Mandate, and screwing their constituents in the For Profit Health Care Industry by doing so ... now that's funny.
I've been against the Individual Mandate from the start ... next thing you know they will be mandating we buy a 2 liter bottle of Coke every day. Same difference.
Throw out the individual mandate and we can improve ACA with a Public Option. Throw out the entire ACA and we can resume the fight for Comprehensive Universal Single Payer Health Care. Keep the whole ACA in place and it is a political victory for Obama, and we can excise the Individual Mandate later.
Anyway it turns out it's good.
