Repeal of Obamacare Mandate Could Be Tipping Point.

December 26, 2016 by ATForum

“Immediate repeal of ObamaCare’s individual mandate next year could cause chaos in the market and threaten coverage for some of the healthcare law’s enrollees, experts warn.

Congressional Republicans have not yet said whether they intend to scrap the mandate right away, but the bill they unsuccessfully pushed last year — and are now using as a blueprint for 2017 — abolished the mandate immediately.

But immediate repeal of the mandate could have severe repercussions, should Republicans seek to leave the rest of the law in place while they draft a healthcare replacement.
