For the entire industry across all other industries. But fire traps only burn once. Yes, they will burn, but they don't burn for 65 years constantly needing treatment.

That's the fly in the ointment. Hell, keep the mandate. As someone who didn't have insurance through my late 20's until I got married and had a family. Now I get it. And I should have had it then for both safety and the pay-in, because I sure am taking from it now.

That said, just remove those with PEC out of the system and exclusively for that ailment. As far as general medical treatment: song remains the same. You are still a payer-in and a receiver-of for all else.

maybe it's just naive
