42 USC § 18115. Does this really say what I think it says?


Does this really say what I think it says?

No individual, company, business, nonprofit
entity, or health insurance issuer offering group
or individual health insurance coverage shall be
required to participate in any Federal health insurance
program created under this Act (or any
amendments made by this Act), or in any Federal
health insurance program expanded by this
Act (or any such amendments), and there shall
be no penalty or fine imposed upon any such issuer
for choosing not to participate in such programs.
