The Mandate is Un-American. I've always said that. I'm very pleased Trump has ended it. And so are many many other Americans.
That didn't answer the question.
I want to know what you think the effect will be on America's families.
To me, that is an important issue.
The mandate was highly unpopular when it was first proposed - before the ACA even existed. It wasn't added just to PO the public. There were reasons.
So, I want to know how American families will be impacted due to this change.
What have Trump or Ryan said about that? Surely THEY care about American families and wouldn't dick with out system without knowing the ramifications.
I'm sure something will be worked out. But i never supported fining or 'penalizing' American Citizens in that way. It was Un-American. And i am truly grateful Trump recognized that and ended it.
No, again that isn't the question.
Making a change without knowing the consequences of that change is NOT acceptable. And, even more so, as the topic is the health care coverage of American families.
Let's remember that even if the mandate HAD to be removed, the ramifications of that change should be known so that they can be mitigated in some other way.
That mandate was there for important reasons. Simply deleting it HAS to have ramifications that we should consider BEFORE they hit American families - without even so much as a WARNING!!
So, I want to know what this change will mean for American families.
And, the idea that congress would make that change without knowing what would happen is just not acceptable.
