I've tried to patiently explain that M4All would also include an individual mandate penalty. It's called "pay your fucking taxes or you get busted by the IRS."

Irony: As terrible as the GOP's ACA "replacement" plans were, THEY STILL HAD AN INDIVIDUAL MANDATE PENALTY of one sort or another.
One added a 30% premium surcharge for a full year if you went without coverage & wanted it back. Another added a 6-month lockout period.

Of course, when every one of their replacement plans failed, what was the one thing they *did* eliminate? The ACA's mandate penalty.
Result? Unsubsudized premiums jumped around $580/year per individual market enrollee. Not nearly as much as expected, but not chump change either.

Plus, of course, zeroing out the federal penalty also unintentionally (no, really...it was unintentional) for the lawsuit before the SCOTUS right now.
Speaking of which...Congress can #MootTheSuit & #SaveTheACA long before SCOTUS issues their ruling:
