Doing nothing may end up sabotaging Obamacare anyway. If Anthem pulled out nationally because of all the uncertainty of the law going forward, then it could be a situation where millions people literally have no health insurance options available to them at any cost. Would they still have to pay the penalty for not having insurance?

As someone who has friends and loved ones on Obamacare, I guess I am hoping for the moderate Republicans to pass something not quite horrible, as the other scenarios might be even bleaker.
