					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://ezkool.com/2011/02/is-the-individual-mandate-constitutional-its-creator-says/#comment-1251&quot;&gt;Michael Chase&lt;/a&gt;.

@ Michael Chase: And another question would be does the Commerce Act and its enforcement by Congress also apply to corporations such as insurance agencies? 
In other words, does the Act allow congress a constitutional right to force insurance carriers to actively seek out low margin clients and offer them healthcare without offering to subsidized the cost? I mean there&#039;s a reason why poor people have no healthcare insurance. I think the mandate along with the subsidy is necessary as a package in order to make this group more attractive to the private sector health carriers, if not to make a whirlwind profit then at least not to lose any money.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is a good question, but I maintain the better question is whether the mandate is necessary at all. This notion of needing the mandate to maintain the viability of insurance companies is based on a somewhat silly view of industry; businesses adapt to changing market conditions. The insurance industry has operated as a super premium business, focusing on high margin clients only. By forcing them to cover low margin clients, without the subsidy of the mandate, they will have to dramatically expand their client base to maintain earnings levels.

Industries are perfectly capable of making such a move, and the process will engender the competition that will be an engine for cost and service improvements.]]></description>
