A White Paper by Jonathan Gruber; PhD
Submitted by Nancy Chockley; PhD
Dear Colleagues,
As health reform proposals become more concrete, there is renewed attention to the role of an individual mandate and issues of affordability. With this in mind, I am sending you NIHCM Foundation’s Expert Voices essay, “The Role of Individual Mandates in Health Reform” by Jonathan Gruber, PhD, Professor of Economics, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Assessment
In this essay Gruber explores the primary arguments for and against individual mandates and the challenges faced in their design and implementation. Then, pulling strongly from the Massachusetts experience, he examines evidence on the effectiveness of individual mandates in practice.

So, the Feds are going to get us health insurance via mandates; just like they got loans for the poor little guys? Right!
The Fed didn’t bark at subprime loan abuses and regulator didn’t police lenders’ compliance with laws protecting borrowers.
