I don't think you get it. We are supposed to have those pesky little documents to guide our governments intrusions. You know the Constitution and that other one, The Bill of Rights.
It's astounding that we forget our existence began because we fought a freakin war over a tax.
Our government has said, by the mere existence of being an American, I must purchase a "PRODUCT". We are going to increase the national debt by some trillions of dollars in order for less than 15% of our population to get coverage. Let's face it, we don't have a health "CARE" problem, we have an insurance and cost problem. And you do understand that you'll be paying more in premiums to cover all those people with conditions that were limited or denied before. If you think rates and costs are going to drop if we had 100% of people having insurance you've lost your mind.
Next let me ask you this. I don't have health insurance by choice. Let's say I pay the penalty every year for not having it, cause frankly it'll be cheaper. And one day I get sick. Do you know that I can then go and get "insurance" at the same rate of another person, whose had insurance for twenty years of my gender and age without paying a higher premium? What sense does that make? It totally defeats the purpose of having insurance.

Man this is just the reason we have so many wacky nuts in government. There are plenty of things that people do that are irresponsible, but how many of them would you like to legislate? No sales of big gulps?
