So a plan subsidized by the tax payer for employees that have a “company” running in the read by Trillions of dollars is the plan he wants to copy.

He cribbed that of from Heritage Foundation.

which mind you included

“Second, Congress needs to require working-age Americans not covered by Medi care or Medicaid to purchase at least a basic health plan, and to provide assistance to families who otherwise would be unable to afford “ That is a Mandate.

Also that was 1992(Heritage) or 2000(djt) the demographics of worker and retired are a bit different now as are the number of companies in the market place.

Why would buying into the plan be subsidized?

The mandate is only necessary provided if you want .....to provide assistance to families who otherwise would be unable to afford. I don't see allowing folks to buy into the federal group as a big govt. intrusion.
