Getting the people covered by health care is one thing. Controlling the cost is another thing, and this is about controlling the cost, and I don't believe we have our arms around it yet.
Now, if you want to get rid of the individual mandate and keep in place the issue for people with preexisting conditions, you put the insurance industry into a death spiral.
To make that a reality we have to move the conversation in Congress away from harmful ideas like privatizing the program and cutting seniors' benefits.
