That sounds like a great campaign slogan. "Don't pay for health insurance? Go directly to jail!"
up here everyone 'has' health insurance, basic anyway. what happens is we all have to pay a certain amount, with low income being able to get 'premium assistance' etc

if one doesn't pay, it floats till you file taxes and they take it from that, or could lead to further legal action
