        Everyone who doesn't die in the gutter uses health care at some point. No one actually opts out.

        This argument suggests that even if people were provided healthcare for free, some would refuse. And I doubt it. It's about cost

        It is called the free market choice. If a family's premiums are 7 times the cost of actual healthcare. Why pay premiums.

        The real issue is: Will we hold people to their choice of no insurance by saying they will get NO health care unless they can pay?

        The problem is they do not decide to go without health care, just health care insurance. As a consequence, we all pay for that health care.

        DO we let them do that for car insurance? If mandating insurance is terrible, shouldn't the GOP advocate to get rid of that?
