Does NAR support an individual mandate?
NAR has reservations about the proposed individual mandate and has communicated those concerns to both the House and Senate. As self-employed individuals and small business owners, NAR’s members have experienced first-hand how difficult it is in today’s world to find affordable health insurance. Consequently, NAR has worked hard to educate members of Congress on the potential unintended consequences of an individual mandate that does not take into account the fact that even with tax credit assistance, many individuals and families will not be able to afford the required coverage. Polling of NAR’s members shows that they are split on the question of individual mandates, so NAR’s Board of Directors has taken no formal position.
