Rationale
The bill imposes a mandatory requirement for insurance coverage, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of individual choice and minimal government intervention in personal and economic matters. Both the LP and LPO platforms advocate for personal responsibility and freedom from government mandates, leading to low alignment scores.
