I think what most people find objectionable are:

  • Driving is optional
  • Breathing is not
  • Being a bad (and expensive) risk for car insurance is usually caused by bad behavior;
  • Being a bad risk for health insurance is often something we are born with
Mandating health insurance may or may not be a good thing for the US. However, people are going to respond to this issue as much emotionally as they will logically.

We fear a loss of control. We may be forced to see a doctor we don't like or pay for something we don't want. Our taxes may skyrocket.

If we don't have coverage, the desire to live and the desire to live a healthy productive life also has it's emotional gravity. If you have a serious disease and your inability to qualify for health insurance impacts your quality of life and your life expectancy, you can be expected to react emotionally to this issue.
