Unfortunately, political meddling is slowly eroding the positive qualities of the Swiss system. Guaranteed issue regulations remove much of the incentive to purchase insurance while young and healthy. It also penalizes those who maintain continuous coverage by making them subsidize those that free-ride. The individual mandate is supposed to reduce free-riders, but it also invites special interests to lobby for coverage of their services – saddling enrollees with bloated benefit packages and driving up the cost of coverage.

The exception is in Massachusetts" Obomacare will force Massachusetts bloated premiums on the rest of the American states.
