This law just went into affect. It will bankrupt a lot of small businesses, drive a lot of larger businesses out of the state. It will cost those who buy their own (also mandated if your employer doesn’t provide it) as much as car insurance does, and since these policies have high co-pays and only after reaching a yearly deductible (also high) no healthy person will ever use it except to have their visits monitored by the insurance co. (Presumably to keep a tally till the deductible is reached) Consequently, they are paying for something, monthly, that they will never use. It’s a forced tax to cover people who go to the ER for a hangnail or every little ache or pain and do not pay for it. Or for those who are self inflicting their own medical needs and cannot pay.
