Will You Be Forced To Have Health Insurance? 
That is a great question ! No one can force you to do anything that your heart is set on doing . That said , they can make it very uncomfortable for you , and this is the case with the health insurance . The idea is that the more people that have insurance , the less the rest of us have to pay for the treatment of the uninsured . So there are penalties for not being insured that increase over time . It comes down to which option is least uncomfortable for you - being insured against the inevitable sickness or injury , or paying the fines for not having it , and the medical costs you will incur . Thank you for asking !
