Without mandatory insurance, the treatment of the uninsured drives up costs for the insured, ironically causing costs to rise to such a point where many can in fact not afford insurance any more.
Not just because they're not paying for insurance and others end up paying for them, but also because their reluctance to seek treatment often leads them to delay treatment until mild, easily treated conditions have become so serious that they require much more expensive treatment.

Well when people cant afford 400 dollars for rent, how will they come up with 400 more dollars to pay for insurance? Under her plan they will be ticketed for not being covered, then when they cannot afford that they will be jailed for not paying the ticket. It also kills alot of small biz owners who are just getting by. Just ask the people of massachusetts how they feel about it since Romney and Ted put that shit into law.
