Mandatory to whom?

Any body who chooses to employ should be required to provide a basic health care plan no different than providing liability insurance. Take your work to China or India and pay a fair tax at customs. Thats the way it should work.

Why?

So if you hire your neighbor's boy to come mow your yard. You gonna want to have a rider on your home owners or will you call and get a special policy written up just for that day?

That's utterly ridiculous.
