That's a great point, however our auto insurance allows copious amounts of medical coverage in the case of an accident, for the driver and for anyone else in the accident. If you don't medically insure yourself, you aren't hurting anyone else. You shouldn't be forced to pay for something if it only affects you. You can argue with me all you want, but the fact is, if you don't have medical insurance and something catastrophic happens, you'll pay one way or another- whether it be losing your house, your business, making payments, having crap credit- whatever. Hell, most medical insurance has a cap anyway, and you're left owning a ton of money regardless of the situation. It should be the choice of a person.
