The fact at you have no insurance shows you have no responsibility at all. If you don't have the money, it shows you have poor without enough business sense or job skills to make it, or is it that you have been "forced into welfare"?
Won't even bother to comment on the rest of the drivel you wrote which clearly shows no grasp of the law, economics or political science. Bet you still think trickle down works too.

So you agree that it is your opinion that anyone less fortunate than you are must need you to force your ideas for how to live on them. If you tell someone they must buy an expensive luxury product they can't afford or be fined, but don't worry because they can get help with the payments . . . how is that not forcing someone onto welfare?
Is health insurance really the number one thing on your shopping list? How many years were you uninsured before ACA got you insurance? Was it because you had no responsibility at all or is that just what your doctor daddy told you?
Good analogy with the lottery though. The science of statistics was invented by gamblers and insurance companies.
States run a lottery because they have crunched the numbers and found that, even if they pay out millions, enough people will buy lottery tickets and get nothing that the States will make obscene profits. It is like a tax on the insecurities of people raised poor.
Insurance companies issue plans because they have crunched the numbers and found that, even if they pay out millions, enough people will buy insurance companies and get nothing that the insurance companies will make obscene profits. It is like a tax on the insecurities of people raised middle class.
Neither is a tax on stupidity, although people who can do basic math like to point fingers at whichever background is not theirs. It is a tax on groupthink and fear. People raised poor whose lives are not improving think only a thunderbolt from the lottery could improve their lives.
Odds are against the lottery helping and for it costing more of a limited budget. People raised middle class who can't afford the things they were raised to believe they'd be able to think a serious illness would wipe out what little they have or that poor people healthcare does not apply to them so they'd just die. Odds are against insurance helping and for it costing more of a limited budget.
