Ya, not only that, but many libertarian types just don''t like to be told what to do. Mandating health care isn''t going to make them too happy. This will certainly alienate some independents that she might have been able to woo otherwise.

Personally, I think mandated insurance is a good idea if it leads to lower premiums . . . I just hope there are adequate provisions in her plan to supply free or no cost insurance to low income families.

This seems really unwise on her part. Many people have negative memories of her previous attempt in 1994. Not a smooth move at all...
