How do You Make Americans Sign up For Universal Health Insurance?

How do You Make Americans Sign up For Universal Health Insurance? - HUMAN EVENTS: “How will the government find out if everyone is covered by health insurance? Will it somehow make everyone report his policy and group number? Clinton promises that her plan won’t require any new bureaucracy; so, who will handle the record keeping for the government — the IRS? You thought that the IRS was intrusive now? Wait until they go after your medical and insurance records.

Assuming that the government does determine the insurance status of every American, if it finds someone who hasn’t signed up, will the government sign up for him? Here, the government would say, this is your insurance coverage. Now pay up. Would the uninsured be punished, and if how so? Will they be taken to court (or more likely, an administrative law judge in the bowels of some agency) and be required prove that they have enough individual resources to be self-insured? Or, what if he simply chooses not to be covered? If convicted, will he be assessed a large fine or be dragged off to jail. These questions are not addressed in Clinton’s summary of her plan displayed on her web site.”
