No, in the end, it really is about freedom. If this law stands, then you have to buy insurance. Not as a condition upon the exercise of a privilege, like driving. But rather as a tax on your very existence. We’ve taxed income, and purchases, and sales, but we’ve never taxed your mere existence before, have we? The fact that you are born—something you have no control over—now subjects you to a tax. And not really a tax—but a mandate that you have to give your money to private companies in exchange for a product you may not want.
