This is known as the individual mandate and it's what keeps our system working: insurers need healthy people to sign up to subsidize the costs of less healthy people who use more healthcare services.
|
|
The way the exchanges were supposed to work was that both healthy and less-healthy people would sign up, providing insurers with a good mix of risks that let them offer reasonably priced policies.
|
|
"Overall, consumers should make use of posted calorie information on menus and restaurant websites to make an informed meal selection as there are more and less healthy options available at all restaurants," she said.

This fact is creating an excessive healthcare demand, and it can be traced to two cultural issues: people choose to be less healthy than they could be, and they're reluctant to face end-of-life.

Price, who was forced out of the US Health and Human Services Department last year after a scandal over luxurious charter jet travel, accurately described the pitfalls of the GOP's decision to repeal the mandate in its tax bill in a speech to the World Health Care Congress in Washington, DC. Price says he's of the camp that believes that nixing the mandate will make the individual insurance market less healthy & drive up costs Price says that he's not a big fan of the GOP tax bill's 2019 individual mandate repeal-- says it will harm the pool in the exchange markets & drive up costs This is, of course, exactly what health policy experts would tell you.
