No, you will not go to jail if you can't afford it; it will be paid for by subsidies.  If you can afford health insurance, then you already have it - even the very wealthy except maybe the top .01% need health insurance when it can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars if you get sick.

If you're trying to say something say it directly.  If you have a belief speak out, you're not doing your cause favors by taking a round about jab at the issue.

 

I have said it directly. Where in the constitution, or bill of rights, does it say I have the right to heath insurance? Where does it say the government as a right to force it upon my family?

Let's say I make 35K a year, enough so the government is not going to pay me. Let's say the only car I will allow my kids to ride in is mine, and my car insurance will cover any accident. I take them every 6 months to get physicals, and pay for it out of my pocket.

What if insurance for my kids cost 6k a year? (it's posable), and I feel that 6k can go to better options for there future. I could hire tutors, or send them to collage. I could feed them healthier food, and practice preventative medicine.

In most cases (possibly all), Heath insurance I feel is the right choice, but I feel it should be a choice, not dictated to me by my government.

I feel the same way about the seatbelt law. While it's always the right choice to ware one, there is no constitutional bases for the government to require me to do so.

EDIT: The cost of heath insurance is not even the problem. It's the cost of heath care. "Fixing" the problem by giving everyone insurance is not taking care of the real issue. Healthcare should cost 1/10th of what it costs today. 

For healthy 20 year olds starting out of college with very little money, Helath Insurance is often and illogical choice to spend their scant resources on. In this case, it is illogical to impose health care on these people.
