Can The Government Make You Buy Health Insurance? 
WEBSITELINK Click on Individual Health then on righthand side near bottom you will see health reform/penalties ... click on that . This website is from one of my partners who specializes in Health Insurance . I am using this to answer this question or rather to support my answer . Can the Government Make you buy Health Insurance ... answer is NO ! However , you will be `` taxed '' or rather have to pay a penalty if you do not have health insurance . So in a sense , you are buying it although it is not stated this way .
