Disputed is a mandate that originated with conservatives.

The solution — originally proposed, believe it or not, by analysts at the ultra-right-wing Heritage Foundation — is a three-legged stool of regulation and subsidies.

Finally, subsidies make those mandated insurance purchases affordable for lower-income families.
