[uprem] Not counting the increases in premiums for those who already have
insurance due to mandates on coverage (no pre-existing conditions, denying
citizens the choice of saving costs by getting policies with caps or exclusion
of substance abuse or maternity, etc) the mandate forcing uninsured to buy
insurance by itself comes to $1.95 trillion over 10 years. Per year it's
$195 billion = nu x ( spercent x spremium + fpercent x fpremium )
nu = 47 million uninsured
x = multiplied by
spercent = 63.3% uninsured without children [oneil Table 7]
fpercent = 36.7% uninsured with children [oneil Table 7]
spremium = $4,704 single premium [kff1]
fpremium = $12,680 family premium / 4 = $3,170/person [kff1]
