There is a fascinating parallel between the evolution of American political attitudes toward market mechanisms in environmental regulation and Republican hostility to “Obamacare” (the 2010 Affordable Care Act). The core of Obamacare is an attempt to ensure that all Americans have health insurance, via the individual mandate.
美国针对环境管制中市场机制的政治态度的演化与共和党人对“奥巴马医改”（2010年《合理医疗费用法案》）的敌意之间存在着一个令人惊叹的平行关系。奥巴马医改的核心在于通过强制参保的方式确保所有美国人都能享有医疗保险。但这是一个市场主导的项目，因为医疗保险公司和医疗服务提供者都是私营企业而且相互竞争。
