The 'I Got Mine' Effect
-
For those of us who have to procure our own health insurance, this is bad but totally predictable news: Trump's elimination of the tax penalty for violating the individual mandate means that enrollment has plunged, nationally and here in California, and that will lead to much higher premiums as healthy people pull out of buying insurance. Which screws those of us who NEED insurance. Trump and the "repeal and replace" throngs knew this was going to happen and did it anyway, because, you know, have to erase Obama. But they didn't replace with anything better, or anything at all. It's cruel, and it's what you wanted if you wanted the mandate gone. (Los Angeles Times)
