” You must get what, exactly? You must purchase health insurance from a private health insurance company. Just like you must purchase auto insurance. Do you call mandatory auto insurance “universal auto care” and complain that it is a huge loss of “liberty?””

What id you don’t want health insurance? You’re penalized until you buy it. By whom? the government.

Do you really not see the difference between auto and health insurance?

Why should the government be able to force you to buy anything?

How much power does our government have to compel us to act?

If you can prove personal responsibility and enough dough to cover your own health care costs, you don't have to buy health insurance.
