The Republicans are killing Obamacare with stealth, not by passing laws...

... They are doing the "death by a thousand cuts" routine with all the confusion, stalling, re-dos, "failures" "we're just not gonna make the subsidy payments at all" ...insurance companies HAVE TO HAVE STABILITY in order to figure out their bottom lines,and make their offers for insurance plans, and EVERYTHING the Republicans are doing is keeping the waters so churned up that insurers will eventually just walk away from the whole thing.

The Republicans could care less about passing anything, they know that it will die if they keep at what they're doing. We have NOTHING to celebrate about yesterday.

However, they need to replace, and that's where they can't agree on anything.

...if the confusion level stays this high, whatever insurance companies that are left in the field will have to charge HUGE rates to cover their risk. So high no one can afford it.
Can companies be FORCED to participate? If no one wants in, doesn't subsidized healthcare just die? No repeal necessary.

I honestly don't know, if someone does, please post and thanks in advance
