Concern about the individual mandate's effect on the market is curious. It's was waived by Obama until 2016. Trump waived it for 2016 and now the tax plan will eliminate it permanently. Seems status quo.

No, expected future events are part of the status quo and they have been changed. Would you expect the market not to react if the government announced social security payments would all stop in 2018?

What? I had to pay an individual mandate penalty on my 2015 tax return...

If you're right, then the IRS owes me a refund.

Hardship exemptions [1] are absolutely not the same thing as waiving the penalty.

Obama did not waive it in 2016.
