So many of the “problems” with the ACA are inherent problems with the idea of having healthcare being “for profit.” An example is all the talk I’m hearing from critics of the law declaring it’ll fail because young folks will just continue to go without insurance and pay the penalty, thus ensuring that the pools will be too small/weighed down by the elderly and sick and lead to the companies being bankrupt.

But how exactly was the GOP going to avoid such a problem in their own plan? They’ve already promised much of the same goodies, such as keeping insurance til your kids 26 and no pre-existing conditions. So how could they get everybody insured and keep costs down without some form of enforcement mechanism to force the young to sign up?
