Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
If the pre-existing condition protection is the "candy" we all want to have, then the individual mandate is the "spinach" many people don't want to have. The latter is the price for the former.
Some folks do not like Spinach, or Broccoli for that matter. As a result they suffer from Iron deficiency and have to take supplements….
Seriously though, folks were not told that about the mandate, only that it would save them money if they did not want to have any insurance at all. I cannot understand why having no HI is so acceptable. OK they say they are healthy and do not need it...…., until they fall off their motorbike and get are $500,000 hospital bill and a financially ruined. (I know of someone that this actually happened to).
