The thing godfry is talking about "spurring competition" is a
recent bill to repeal the insurance industry's exemption from anti-trust laws. The mandate (part of a different bill...well...several different bills) isn't intended to spur competition, but to hold costs down in a market where insurers aren't allowed to discriminate.
