6. it's bad because if preserves the fallacy that insurance executives deserve to profit...

...as a condition for you or I receiving care when we're sick or injured. That's not only a fallacy, it's a horrendous one. The ACA is NOT designed to solve our health care access and expense problems-- there were much easier and more expeditious solutions to those problems-- it's designed to maintain the profits of commercial insurance companies, ghouls who profit from sickness, injury, and suffering.

Piss on the insurance companies and the greedy profiteers who run them!

The only reason the mandate WON'T be the only thing to change is that everyone involved KNOWS this, so without the mandate to conserve insurance company profits, the rest of the ACA will likely be gutted-- because in the end, it isn't about solving anything except America's phony corporate wealth care crisis.
