What's interesting about the current debate is that everyone has settled in favor of an individual mandate as part of national health reform. Two years ago, that was a radical idea that only Massachusetts embraced (the failed efforts in California, Illinois or Pennsylvania wouldn't touch it as too controversial). Now it looks like the national plan will have a mandate and no one is arguing over this point.
