Which was individual mandates. What do you think about his SPECIFIC argument in favor of them?

As for costs, we'll see. There is a chance you will be right and it could be much more than predicted by the CBO. Or it could be less as was the case with Medicare D. The direct comparison is not applicable to MA anyway since they are not in the position to cut waste and fraud from Medicare, a federal program. I also don't think they apply any taxes to people people making over $200k.

But please, answer the individual mandates part before ducking off on your cost spin. Do you like the fact you are paying for people who can afford their own health insurance with your premiums and taxes?
