A mandate prevents people from gaming the system by waiting to get sick to buy coverage since insurance companies will be forced to insure people regardless of their condition. Theoretically you could wait until you were diagnosed with heart disease and need to have open heart surgery before purchasing coverage.
It would be akin to buying home insurance as your home was on fire.
