    You are being forced to buy health insurance since the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) was written and is now law. individuals and families must purchase credible health insurance or they will face a tax penalty.

    This tax will continue to increase each year in an effort to force Americans to buy healthcare. Federal tax subsidies could reduce premiums, if you qualify.

    Why are you being forced to buy health insurance? Well, long story short, the Federal Government decided at this point in time that health insurance is no longer a state's right to decide and have taken over oversight of health care. Prior to this federal act, states were left to decide how much or how little health insurance an individual had to buy. Some states (Haiwaii) have a sort of single payor. others allow much more choice in health plans including the choice not to purchase. 

    While I would not consider going without insurance, I do agree it should be up to the individual to decide.
