So it's better to hyperinflate the price of health insurance making it completely unaffordable, then force people to buy it or taxpeyers to subsidize it, than it is to bring prices down so people can freely choose to buy a more affordable product?
You might be onto something here
How is this magical drop in prices achieved for everyone?

Don't be stupid... unless you can't help it.
When providers have a captive audience (individual mandate), and there is a run on demand (cost shifting, subsidized care, and pre-existing coverage) coupled with expensive requirements and beaurocracy (coverage requirements) you can expect prices to rise. Ironically, there are laws against price gouging.
Who knows I'd ahca will be the fix that makes everyone happy- I doubt any plan can do that. But if all it does is restore some measure of natural market forces to the healthcare system, prices will at minimum, stabilize. If all we ever did was go back to the old system, costs would stabilize.
If I'm reading you right, you are the only liberal here except for Bamasjw that still supports the aca.
