it's understandable that the requirement to purchase a product you feel you won't need would be bothersome. however i think it's worth noting that while you're healthy today that's not likely to always be the case. if you were in an accident or suddenly diagnosed with a serious illness the cost of medical care and hospitalization could ruin you financially.
i'm a 35-year-old male without health insurance but i don't ever get sick. so this is not a priority for me. but now it sounds like the government is mandating that i get insurance right? help me understand how this is even going to begin to benefit me.
