Used in connection with coverage under proposed national health insurance or other health insurance plans which require coverage to be offered or taken. A plan may be compulsory only for an employer (coverage must be offered to employees and a specified portion of the premium paid, if they opt to take it) or for individuals as well. Any universal public plan is necessarily compulsory in that the payment of taxes to support the plan is not optional with the individual.
