How is it your right to take money from other people to pay for your healthcare?
I did not plan to participate in this thread, but I just need to respond to this misleading comment.
Dibble, you already pay for other people's healthcare. What do you think one of the reasons is for such high health insurance premiums? On average, more than $1,000 of a person's annual health insurance premium goes towards paying the health care costs of the uninsured/underinsured. The current system is one of cost-shifting, where we all pay for those without health insurance and those who have no health insurance.
So, in essence, what you're complaining about already exists.
Does anyone force you to have health insurance?
Last time I checked, you can just pay it all out of your own pocket.
