The solution will require some finesse, that’s for sure.

No biggie!

If the “no mandate” gets upheld, nobody will buy insurance until they get sick, and Obamacare falls like a house of cards. Of course, we’ll probably get single payer then, but there’s a 10% chance of sanity.

Razib,

You left out “gather underpants,” and “profit.”

One wishes more Republicans would really fess up to these issues and provide a good conservative solution. However I have a fear that Republicans are more concerned about winning the Presidency in 2012 with some weak candidate than in actually solving these problems.

You forget Reagan proved that tradeoffs don’t matter.
