Comparing the options for universal coverage

This paper identifies and evaluates eight legislative policy options for achieving universal coverage. These options are reviewed systematically by addressing three distinct, although related, issues: defining the "universe" covered, defining the nature of the coverage to be provided, and providing legal incentives to assure the coverage and financing. In particular, this paper focuses on the obligations of employers and individuals under these proposals and appropriate governmental policies to promote compliance.
