The whole mandate/market idea was a heritage foundation plan as a right-wing, market-based alternative to hillarycare or single payer. Obama's triangulation really burned them.

And that's why they haven't come up with a replacement, because Obamacare *was* their plan.

So, yeah, they just have to change it enough so they can slap their donnie's name on it, but it'll still be basically the same plan. They have no alternative.
