That's why the insurance companies are offering to trade that off against mandatory insurance coverage. They won't do the former without the latter. They COULD structure a plan under which coverage is universally available without mandatory coverage. It would just be more expensive. Not unlike the "assigned risk" pools for workers comp in many states. But I would much prefer to have some kind of arrangement like this than what Obama wants which is socialized health care, single-government payer or provider. The socialized medicine model is a disaster that will end with the collapse of the best health care system in the world, and that is the only possible outcome. The only question is how long it will take.
