GOP pushes carrot approach to insurance, over ObamaCare mandate's stick

(By Jim Angle, FoxNews.com) - Part of the the effort to repeal and replace the President Obama's health care law, as Republicans see it, is to find a way to entice the uninsured to buy insurance rather than force them to do so.

The existing law that the Supreme Court recently upheld relies on the proverbial stick -- the individual mandate, which requires people to buy insurance or face a fine.

Republicans argue for a carrot approach, to help more people voluntarily buy insurance, including by offering broader tax incentives.
