No. We don't have food insurance, but people still manage to eat right? There are a lot of reasons that people aren't insured, and most of them can't be addressed by any type of legislation. If I can't afford insurance now, I'm sure as shit not going to be able to afford it when it is mandatory and the prices go up. The only difference is that I'll turn into a subject of the government because I'll owe the gov fines because I couldn't pay for something I couldn't afford.
No one dies because they don't have health insurance. Sure, people dying is unfortunate, but nothing is ever going to change that. The human race has thrived just fine without even the concept of health insurance for who know how many millions of years. Crying about people dying because they are uninsured now is just silly.
No one has said it yet, but they are bound to at some point. The difference between requiring car insurance and health insurance is that the car insurance that is required is liability insurance to help you pay for the damages that you do to other people. Not having health insurance is never going to affect anyone but you. So your family spends a lot of money trying to keep you alive? No one made them. That is a cold, hard, black and white way to look at the issue, but it is the reality.
Again, being uninsured doesn't kill anyone and never will. If there comes a time that things are so expensive that people just can't afford treatment, more insurance and third parties still isn't going to be the answer.
