But this bill would have made even bigger increases. If you remove the mandate to get insurance but keep coverage for pre-existing conditions the insurance would explode. It would be like you saying you don't need to get car insurance until you get into an accident. Insurance is meant to pool the risk, to do that you need healthy people.
Every version of the Republican bills would have increased costs and cut the numbers of people insured. This was never about making healthcare cheaper, they simply wanted Obamacare gone and the government allocation of cash to it moved to tax cuts.

I saw that, it's to the New Yorker if anyone else is interested.
I think it's Scaramucci appealing to Trump who likes that kind of aggression and media hype.
