How is mandated health insurance a stepping stone for universal health care?
Doesn't it just make the HMO's/insurance companies more powerful (which will make them more influential)? Won't it just be like mandated car insurance--but much more expensive?

It makes it cheaper for two main reasons:
1. Prevention is cheaper than treatment. Once everyone is required to carry insurance there will be much more preventative care.
2. Many more young, low-risk people will pay into the system. This will reduce the cost across the board.
