It may seem counterintuitive, but the reason you have home owner's insurance is to benefit the mortgage carriers, not you; your car insurance is to keep others' insurance from going up too high and for the public agencies that cover the ininsured [unless you live in a state where this doesn't exist]--that's why it's required. Requiring you to have health insurance keeps the hospitals from charging insured patients higher fees to cover uninsured patients, and keeps your taxes from covering uninsured patients in expensive emergency rooms.
