You can opt out of auto insurance by using alternative modes of transportation. I'm sure dblack didn't mean driving illeaglly without insurance.
Not sure what you mean, but mandatory auto insurance is just as wrong as mandatory health insurance. Forcing people to tithe to corporate lobbyists is an abuse of government power.
If I take a bus to work, I'm no longer forced to buy auto insurance.
The ACA is much different. The only stipulation there is that I'm a living citizen.
I s'pose. But the principal is the same. If an activity is so dangerous that it represents a threat to society - fucking make it illegal. Otherwise, let people decide for themselves how to account for the results of their actions. This idea that the way to deal with public risk is to 'outsource' it to corporate insurance is poison.
