mandatory insurance; chronic care

Attorney General Eric Holder and HHS Secretary Sebelius had an excellent editorial on the mandatory health insurance requirement

I definitely support for all the reasons they have stated

o   People without insurance who get sick end up in Emergency Rooms and cost us all more money, plus they undermine their own health which is a cost to society
o   Mandatory insurance lowers the cost for all of us.
o   If states can mandate auto insurance, why can't health insurance be mandated

HHS issues new strategic framework on multiple chronic conditions
