Mandatory Insurance???

There has been so much talk of the health care bill in the past couple of weeks, and with so many changes to the bill, I'm confused. One thing I do know is this: I do NOT want government run health care. First the government buys up most of the car industry, now this? And excuse me, but I don't think the government should make this "mandatory." Can they even do that? To me, it should be an option. And, OK, if the government wants to require it, then I can deal with that. But forcing people to pay a fine because they don't believe in what the government is doing? I don't think so.
