Putting aside for a moment questions of practicality and whether you think it would function well or not, would you have the same "I'm forced to buy it" objection if we went to a true universal single payer system, where, instead of subsidizing purchase of health insurance by individuals from private companies, health insurance was paid for entirely by the government, budgeted from tax revenue?
