In 1993 the State of Washington passed a health care reform that, I’ve read in various places, strongly resembles what Obama and Clinton are proposing.
Soon there were widespread complaints that the reform was driving the cost of privately purchased health insurance up, while the insurers were complaining that the reform was draining them of cash. Many insurers stopped selling individual or family health insurance policies in the state.
In 1995 almost the entire thing was repealed.
