<br />
That is the question the Treasury Department faced when it issued new regulations implementing his unmanageable health reform law on Friday. Obamacare's individual mandate forces every American to buy a federally approved health insurance plan. It also makes all insurance plans more expensive by forcing insurance companies to insure every customer who wants a policy while&nbsp; limiting the prices they can charge. <br />
<br />
These are just some of the issues that will bankrupt insurers and force individuals to purchase insurance they may not need and can&rsquo;t afford. <br />
