[quote=afx114][quote=DWCAP]WHAT HAPPENS IN 2014[/quote]

Right, I was referring only to this provision (trying to keep the thread on topic). If we want to have a broader conversation on the entire health care plan or insurance in general we can.

Anyone care to estimate what our car insurance rates would be if they were not mandated?[/quote]

yawn, sure. I am sure you had no idea what the ‘forced’ part was and were so confused you had to ask.

Going back to my original post, that is the math the health care bill was balanced upon. Young people have to buy insurance to help bring the total cost per person down (provision delayed till 2014 to give political cover) and they can stay on parental plans to help people at the lowest parts of their career pay scale afford it. ie the lady on NPR.

That is still very much, ‘on topic’. I gave no opinions on the bill as a whole. If Flu wants to know ‘why this is possible’; well there it is.
