During a Thursday breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) left the door open to a state-based individual mandate to buy health insurance.
He told reporters he supports the concept of “guaranteed issue” if ‘Obamacare’ is overturned — i.e. the guarentee of being able to buy insurance coverage even if one has a pre-existing condition.
The exchange that followed.
REPORTER: Do you think you can have guaranteed issue without a mandate?
WALKER: Well, certainly not a federal mandate. I mean I think those are discussions, debates people can have at the state level.
