also mandating universal buying would bankrupt all insurance companies.

The reason you have all of the young and healthy people in the plan is to offset the costs of the older and sick ones. If you demand coverage of preexisting conditions you could just wait until you got sick and then buy into an insurance policy.

The EO probably wouldn't be enforceable without law behind it and it, on its own, would collapse the private insurance industry.
