That is a risk you take. Like not having car insurance. Get into a wreck? You pay for it out of your own pocket.

Which is why I don't see the fine as anything else than a backhanded way by the government to force people into public insurance.
If you don't want to be insured, fine, but you can't opt out of having to help out with the costs of the uninsured. Thus, the fine.

I'm not sure how I can make it any more clear.
