I guess being forced to buy health insurance is like being forced to buy auto insurance. Of course we all pay for uninsured drivers and uninsured health catastrophries anyway. Darn freeloaders. Darn socialism. 
Just like I wish for reining in run-away auto insurance costs, I hope the health costs can be reduced to reasonable levels, one way or another. The biggest hurdle is, it just won't do any good to change anything, if somebody at the top keeps obviously raking in absurd profits.

Wes,
Not a single person in this nation has ever been forced to buy auto insurance. It is simply one of the requirements of gaining the PRIVILEGE of a drivers license. No different than having to pass a drivers TEST and an eye test for the PRIVILEGE of driving.
Don't drive? You are not forced to buy auto insurance, nor is the Gestapo allowed to go into your bank accounts and purchase auto insurance for you.
Apples and oranges OR American choices and obummer dictatorial excesses.
