Perhaps—but his point is the mandates-—which was the single most fought element of O-care-—is gone.
There is another mandate that incidentally Reagan signed. The mandate on hospital ERs to take in whoever shows up with no reimbursement.
How about getting rid of that mandate?
If the government decides that everyone should be taken care of medically regardless of whether one can pay or not and without any reimbursement, then shouldn’t everybody be also mandated to carry health insurance?
You can’t have one without the other.
