The equilibrium you reference is a "political" problem


Most critics of the ACA argued that the penalties for non-compliance were far too low (myself included)...given the political climate, its pretty obvious why the Dems set them so lo in the first place (along with deferring the taxes and other pain until the the out years)

Its not hard to get close to full compliance - simply make the non-compliance penalties suitably onerous and ENFORCE them...I can guarantee you that you will have much higher participation. But no politician interested in his/her job is going to do that. Which is a shame, because it leaves the program in "no man's land"...more people with coverage, but an economic model that is not self-sustaining. Guess who's gonna pick up the tab?
