Like building codes, auto insurance, food inspections, etc?

To some extent there is a difference Larry. Minimum liability coverage is
mandated in order to protect other people from you. Same with food
inspections and building codes - they protect others from the individual.
That is not the same as the health insurance position taken by Just
Wondering.


And if you can't afford it, why should someone else be able to
force a third party to get it for you at their expense?

They already are. The hospitals force you to pay for the free
treatment they give to those who can't or won't pay. What's the
difference?

True. Health insurance will probably always operate that way. I'm not sure
that's such a bad thing.
