i think i'd be a bit unhappy if i had to pay a fine for not getting insurance that the government is trying to force me to buy...
They already do that with auto insurance and I don't see people bitching about that. And if that isn't enough, some residents in high-risk areas must purchase insurance to protect themselves from natural disasters.
i think car insurance is totally different though, driving is a privilege to the us government...
and who ever doesn't drive or own a car isn't forced to buy car insurance...
just like people that don't own a house doesn't pay property tax...

Well they usually require you to have just the basic basic basic insurance and that can be pretty cheap, less than $30 or $40 a month for some people.

Can be several hundred dollars.
But, really, you don't know until you get hit with it.
You can get an idea here:
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires most Americans to have health insurance starting in 2014. People who don’t comply have to pay a penalty, the amount of which depends on several factors, including income and family size. This calculator lets you estimate the potential ACA penalty for individuals and married couples who don’t have health insurance coverage required by the ACA.
Certain groups are exempt from the penalty tax (click for list).
To see what the penalties are, just enter the requested information and click "Calculate."

No! You have the free choice to have a car or not. No car no paying insurance. Have car you pay insurance. Free choice. Free will.

They are quite substantial. They were Small in the beginning though. But according to the law the IRS can do nothing to collect the fines unless you overpay in your taxes when the employer takes taxes out of your pay check. Just choose a deduction that gives no extra money to the IRS and tell them to kiss your ass. I am insured but I refused to give proof when doing my taxes this year. I am expecting the harassment in the near future.

Seems like an odd thing to do, show them you're insured.

It is my way of not cooperating with a unconstitutional law.
We have 'a number'....
