Reply #14: So what if you are 'forced'?

[eridani]

You are also 'forced' to pay property taxes directly or indirectly to support your fire department, even if your house has never caught fire. Like the fire department, health care is infrastructure.

You would only be coerced as to the choice of insurer, which would be the government. What you would gain in return is absolutely free choice of any medical provider anywhere, just like they have in Canada. (Not that that will do you any good out in the boonies where doctors are thin on the ground, but that's an entirely separate problem.)
