There are other countries that use the mandatory insurance model, and it works fine. Of course, they do it much better.

- DoreenMichele 9y agohttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_insurance_mandate https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_insurance_mandate I am not seeing anything described here remotely like Obamacare. It sounds like bald faced copying any of those systems to the best of our ability would be a vast improvement. I was homeless when Obamacare passed, so I was exempt. I am no longer homeless. I worry how this will impact me and I wish Trump would actually fix it like he said he was going to do when he took office. If he fixed our completely broken health coverage system, I would be willing to largely overlook what an utter shit show of a politician the man has been.
- maxerickson 9y agoThe individual mandate was repealed in the recent tax bill. (I'm assuming that's what you mean with exempt)
- DoreenMichele 9y agoThank you. I will need to look that up.
- the_mitsuhiko 9y agoIn Austria if you are self enployed there is a mandate for medical insurance and pension contributions. If you are employed there is a mandate which is shared with the employer.
- chillwaves 9y agoWhat indication do you have that Trump will ever do the things he promises to do?
- mikeash 9y agoI see zero indication of this, but that doesn’t mean I can’t wish for it.
