Try reading the CBO report and the description of the econometric modeling used.

It describes how it determined a range of individual participation rates based on the rate of subsidy...the higher the subsidy, the higher the participation rate.

It also look at other mandates and used other modeling based on experiences of those mandates, including the experience in Mass (an estimated 3% are paying the penalty), experience with other mandates (ie car insurance and factoring in that health insurance is more costly than auto insurance) etc.

I would be happy to have a moderated discussion with both you guys.,,,where claiming "bullshit" or "failed" does not validate your position.

Until next time.
