you won't get arrested, just fined.

I'm sorry but if the rich person thinks the money is better in his pocket, collecting dust, than helping to save someone's life, maybe he is evil?

and I thought we were taxing everyone, not just the rich.

why is it ok to tax the rich for money to make war but not medicine?

So, what would happen if you got sick?

I don't know, but it's nobody's problem but mine.

it isn't just your problem when you wind up clogging up the emergency room for an illness that you could have gone to your family doctor for, if you had insurance. I think this is one of the reasons they want to make sure everyone has insurance.

Also those that don't have insurance tend to hesitate in seeking medical and that results in the problem getting worse. When they finally do get help, their health costs are more because they didn't seek help when they should have.

Why you don't have health insurance is beyond me. You are asking for trouble(and I don't mean the fine you'll have to pay for not have insurance under the new legislation). I hope for your own sake that you do not get sick.
