Which penalties would you increase?
Who does that?
Why not say, everyone that foots the bill?Everyone who's against "socialized medicine?"

ACA is an unfolding disaster--by design. Notice the unreasonably long implementation periods. It was designed to last to just after the election. There was never a serious attempt to make it work. Instead, we had a situation comedy about the roll out, the enrollments, the federal funding, the revelations of fabricated numbers, and so on. The idea was to replace it with single payer in the next Congress. Good luck with that.

At the lowest cost, with the highest minimum level of care available to the largest number of people.
The problems with Obamacare are easy to fix. Just increase the penalties until all the healthy people decide to sign up. Or make the penalty be about the average cost of a bronze plan and then buy them the plan. In the long run it likely wouldn't be more expensive than subsidizing ever-rising premiums.
Or simply make it so that health insurance companies have to take losses on Obamacare to keep premiums down. It's not like they lose money overall, Obamacare typically shakes out to a relatively small portion of their business.
