10. The corps will make $4,400 per family under Obama's plan, $2,700 under Hillary's
When you have everyone in the system the costs go down because of the principles of insurance Barack Obama spoke about before he began running for president in his book. It also has the added bonus of saving taxpayers the costs that would be shifted onto us when those who choose to game the system go to the emergency room for care.

The argument against mandates are philosophical and political. Should government mandate this? Is it politically feasible? It isn't an honest argument about which system, all things being equal, works better. The Edwards/Hillary approach does.
