Let’s say, for whatever reason, you can’t afford health insurance. The Government comes along and says “buy health insurance or we’ll fine you (or slap a tax on you—same thing). So, if you can’t afford health insurance, how do you afford the tax? Bonus question: Under this new scheme (which given the current rulers of this country, is likely to become law), will they also close emergency rooms to uninsured people–people who have access to emergency rooms as clinics-of-last-resort? If you take from people money they don’t have, what stops you from taking everything else?
