Obamacare would have cost me nearly half my income when I was only working part-time so I had to go without. I'm not paying a penalty because I couldn't afford insurance.

But....but....the subsidies!

Basing the fee on income levels makes it clear that this was never about making sure that people don't just wait until they get sick to sign up for coverage.

Do we have any specifics on Trump's plans for replacing the Unaffordable Care Act? I have heard him say that he wants to keep the requirement for covering pre-existing conditions, and insurance for kids up to 26, but I haven't heard anything else. I sure hope he is able to get rid of the mandate, since I believe it is unconstitutional. I'm just not sure how you keep pre-existing conditions and get rid of the mandate without sending premiums up even higher than they are now.
