Arguments against changing the direction of the policy
Once again delaying any measures to restructure and resolve the two impending problems in the health care system (raising costs and insufficient coverage) does not constitute a constructive approach to resolving the impending problems
Aside the socio-economic problems it raises, the mandatory health insurance would ensure that all the U.S. citizens benefit at least from the basic health care services and this does not put tremendous strains on the federal budgets.
5. Rationale of the suggestion to change the direction
Despite the benefits the mandatory health insurance would generate for the population, its implementation is abusive and unconstitutional. In its most simplistic form, the government does not have the right to order the citizens what products to purchase, let alone when these items jeopardize their economic stability. At a national level, the measure would deepen the socio-economic inequalities -- which are already a too powerful trademark for the U.S.
6. Importance of health insurance mandate for legislators
The mandatory health insurance has a direct and primary importance for the populations, especially the socio-economically disadvantaged populations which would be negatively impacted by the measure. Yet, the very legislators have sworn to protect the rights of these very individuals. At a first level, the legislators should know their popularity (and adjacently their future chances for reelection) would significantly decrease. At a secondary -- and deeper -- level, the legislators should know that the measure would...
not be able to solve the problems in the American health care system, but would only generate new ones.

Each state and many banks eventually developed their own currencies, greatly complicating trade and issues of security, both through increased potential for fraud and a lack of reliable knowledge about the strength of a particular currency at any given time. These issues were seen as largely responsible for a series of financial crises in the nineteenth century, and even in part for the Great Depression. The establishment of a
