White House preparing Executive Orders if HCR is struck down by Supreme Court

89. Isn't that ...

an argument of semantics? As (and I'm not saying that this is a good idea, but) Congress can tax AND use that money to pay those very same insurance companies that you would otherwise not want to do business with.

I would prefer that the insurance middlemen be cut out of the equation, as they add no value to the system. But that said, it will not happen over night, and IMHO, nor should it. It will take time to transition from the current system and any abrupt change will cause dislocation of 1000 of insurance industry workers. This is a consideration that the administration also must consider ... especially during an election year recession.
