Get over it. If the monetary risk is not shared, it is unsustainable. Healthcare costs will NOT go down if people are allowd to OPT OUT and then they get sick or injured and have to take advantage of the system that the rest of us are paying for.
NOT mandating universal healthcare will give us exactly the situation that we have NOW.
My brother could buy health insurance....but he doesn't...he has money for video games, cigarettes (YUCK!), and going out with his friends every weekend. He doesn't buy in because he doesn't have to. Guess who paid 4 years ago when he had a motorcycle accident. YOU DID! Guess why tylenol costs ~$15 for a single dose? Because of my brother not having insurance.
If you WANT universal health insurance you have to mandate coverage or it is NOT universal coverage.
DUH !!!!
