I HATE this plan. Clinton is proposing that if you don't have insurance, you won't be able to get a job. That's a nightmare for low income workers whose employers don't provide insurance.
I don't think it will force employers to offer low income workers insurance. I think it will create a whole world of low-cost pay-by-the month insurance agencies where people will buy a month's worth of insurance so that they can show proof of insurance and get hired and then cancel the insurance after they're hired because they can't afford it. The only people who profit from this are the insurance companies who get a month of premium with little risk. A month's worth of premium won't cover any preexisting persistent health problems, so the benefits of it to the consumer is nil.
