And there's a difference between health and auto insurance in that only those who purchase a vehicle have to buy auto insurance. AND, the only time you get in trouble for ont having auto insurance is when you get caught - which usually happens when you need it.
I'm all for lowering the costs of health care - heck, I'll even consider government-run or single payer health care if done right - but not at the expense of American's freedoms.
Most people do not consider the "Freedom to stick someone else with your medical bill" that high of a priority.
