Okay. Can you explain to me how mandating coverage for
everyone will "lessen/remove the cost to others when an uninsured person requires treatment"?
Why not just say we're going to subsidize treatment for people who can't afford it? Isn't that what Medicaid and CHIP are, in the first place?
How is it cheaper to tax (or charge premiums to, euphemistically speaking) everyone up front?
