Because people are stupid and a "mandate" for insurance makes it a tax. And taxes are bad because America is about bootstraps and hard work dammit. If I want the best health care I'll pay for it and if I don't want any I won't buy any. I have a tenuous grasp of how health services and costs work so I'm pretty staunch in this belief.
Now if you'll excuse me I have a Big Gulp and a Value Meal to finish.
