If health reform is overturned...then what?
PPACA is overturned, the number of uninsured is on a path to 20% of the population, the insurance death spiral accelerates, and the new Congress and President can't/won't do anything about it.
Can someone tell me how the free market fixes this problem? What insurance company is going to seek to cover families and small businesses with significant pre-existing conditions? Which, by the way, more and more of us have?
I'm not worried. I'm sure that between them the Supreme Court and the GOP have a pony somewhere in the back room which will then some skipping around to everyone's happy surprise.
"Can someone tell me how the free market fixes this problem?" It doesn't, which is why Obama and the Democratic Party were idiots to craft a "health care reform" package that relied on the "free market system" for its implementation. Some of us were rather angrily saying so at the time.
