Well, I share some reservations with him about a Massachusets-style solution, where everyone is required to buy insurance, else face a penalty from the government, which I assume is what he's referring to. But then, as is well known around here, my ideal endpoint is to see private insurance phased out entirely, so that's no real surprise.
