That's fine, but saying he'd go to jail before buying private insurance is stupid when he's already buying private insurance.
I can see an objection to being forced by the government to buy a private product but then he's not going to jail over car insurance (I know he doesn't drive so I don't know if he personally buys any, but then he wouldn't qualify for any version of the public option that's been discussed either since he has employer provided insurance so both are purely hypothetical for him).
