re: Facts on Health Care

I just edited in a paragraph to wrap up my point.

It is ultimately a choice of trade-offs. All else being equal, it becomes a choice of lower premiums but less comprehensive coverage, that makes more comprehensive coverage more expensive then under a mandated benefit system. Or more comprehensive coverage, but at a slightly lower rate then attaining that same level of coverage without a benefit mandate. Where the cheapest premiums will be more expensive then without a mandate.

It's a tradeoff problem. Something this OP's piece doesn't really get into addressing in any of his supplemental policy ideas either.
