Even if they have preexisting condition. Now republicans and trumpp said the mandate is horrible and they will do away with it. But you cant do one without the other. Otherwise you will have people refusing to buy insurance and when they get hurt, they will stop at insurance door my arm is broken its going to cost thousands and let me stop at the insurance place and buy a cheap policy so it will be covered. Its difficult and took years to enact this and it will take months if not years to figure out a replacement. Months and years to just read through it.
