Thats like saying social security sucks and the only reason people pay in is because it's required through taxation. The purpose of the penalty is to keep freeloaders from abusing the system.

Plenty of undocumented immigrants do pay taxes but that's beside the point. That can only be addressed with immigration reform, not health policy.

And social security is actually a regressive tax. As you get into the 6 figures you'll be paying a smaller percent of your income. But you aren't making use of your insurance if you're waiting til you get sick to go to the doctor. You should be going in for check ups and regular testing. You would be doing yourself a solid as well as society. One way we could drive down healthcare costs is catching any potential problems early and using preventative care.
