Not necessarily.

The economy is in the tank now, it wasn't before. More to the point, buying health insurance was not legally required before.

1) Open up buying over state lines
2) Have a term life insurance type health insurance where your contract can be for 5, 10, 15, 20+ years.
Tort reform would be a good idea too.

Bring the cost waaaaay down first and then maybe we can talk about forcing people to buy that shit.
