Isn't it the same thing that made it unaffordable?




No, what made it unaffordable was scrapping the penalty on not having health insurance. If you force health insurance to cover everyone then you also need to force everyone to have health insurance to keep the system balanced. One way to do that is have everyone automatically covered in a public system: rejected. Another way is to tell people they don’t have to sign up for health insurance but they do have to pay into the system.
