29. Il Gecko:
How is forcing us to buy health insurance different than being forced to buy auto insurance?

Simple if you choose to drive a vehicle and assume the liability of death or serious injury to property and life then you must carry a minimum amount of liability coverage as defined by the state in which you live, but if you do not drive then you do not pay this.
However forcing me or you to pay for health insurance (even though I am a service connected disability Vietnam Veteran supposedly covered by the Veterans Administration) I could be forced to pay for an approved policy.
Driving a car, truck or SUV is not only a choice but a privilege extended by your state of residence under certain guidelines, however being alive is not and you have no argument. If I choose to live and accept the consequences about my health then that is in my pursuit of happiness which is guaranteed in the Constitution of The United States.
Nowhere in the constitution is it mandated a a citizen should be forced to purchase any commodity or service and if such is enacted then it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
