I'm not sure how I can make it any more clear.
So, more taxes. Nevermind the fact that the US middle class already pays more taxes than the middle class does here in Canada, despite their screwed up and very lacking social services, you have no problem with just more taxes being forced upon the people?

If you don't want to be insured, you run the risk of having to pay for the health care out of your OWN pocket. Nobody else is going to pay for it. Assuming there still is a private option.

Now, if Obamacare is supposed to cover every single person in the United States, then yes, forcing people to pay for insurance is a different story.
