However, in recent estimates, CBO left out two crucial features, including a 'public health insurance option' and 'employer mandate and an individual mandate'. The estimates with 'no employer mandate and an individual mandate' ended up with 36 million uninsured. By contrast, in case the proposed provisions with respect to the strong public option, medical IT, increased efforts in prevention, and a broader array of cost-saving plans and beyond add to the Massachusetts Plan with the provision of employer mandate and an individual mandate, the cost containment does not matter at all. And most importantly, the promising stem cell research is making its way. To date, private insurers have coexisted profitably with Medicare and Medicaid for many years. Basically, healthy society leads to better productivity and better performance.
