If you drive, the state government requires you to have car insurance. If you have a mortgage, the bank requires you to have fire insurance. Very few people seem to find this objectionable. And yet, between fire, accident, and health insurance, which of the three are you most likely to need? Since the public will be required to pay your hospital bill, which results in higher costs per patient, I can’t see any reason we should not be required to have medical insurance.
