   I wish I knew because the comparison doesn't make sense. Even if you own a car the requirement to have insurance is a state regulation (which makes it legal), not a federal one.Edit-I love how people try to rationalize it, but the truth is a vastly overreaching commerce clause still can not cover the unconstitutional mandate.

   Because it's a government mandate, genius, and the logic is the same. Lots of drivers would prefer not to buy insurance, just as lots of young people would prefer not to buy health insurance, because they don't think they need it.However, drivers who don't have it cost other drivers money when there's an accident, just like people who don't have health coverage cost the rest of us $1,000 per year from not paying their emergency room bills.

   Simple answer its because their both forms of insurance, except operate differently and have different rules that come along with them.The rationale behind comparing different types of insurance is the same as comparing different countries, companies, businesses, government systems, etc. There's nothing wrong with comparing the two.

   So you don"t own a car But you do transport yourself by using planes and trains and buses ….all of which are insured and none of which you would use it they weren't insured I also doubt very much if you would be a passenger in a car that you knew wasn't insured.

   Just Because if you go to the hospital for traetment and you can't pay the bill the hospital will jacj up my bill to my insurance company to get the funds to keep the Hospital open to deadbeats that don't take responsibility for ther health.

   they believe owning a car is equal to being alive.your rights to drive are the same as your right to live. according to that mindset.shrtnjc.have you heard of money?somepeople who work very hard have it and if something happens to them they are able to help themselves.

   It is a mental process of someone comparing something they have no idea about to something they know about to make sense of something. They are basically trying to describe a situation of giving money for something they feel they don't need.

   it's not different. it will force insurance companies to profit based on volume of customers rather than customers health; which, increases competition and lowers prices. just like current car insurance companies.

   If you don't have health care and you get sick…where are you going to get help? Who is going to pay for it? That is y we NEED health insurance. You never know when u might need it.
