You don't drive a car? One could argue that since driving a car is a choice, so car insurance isn't mandatarory. However, unlike many countries & more progressive areas of the US, lousy public transportation means -not owning a car means not having a job-. It takes magical thinking to equate this to an expansion of power. The simple indisputable fact is healthcare is inexpensive and hospitals have to treat people whether they can pay or not, and many cannot & taxpayers end up with the cost, or they can simply die.
A Republican-created free-market solution that will save lives AND taxpayer-burden becomes a huge expansion of federal government power. Very interesting swiss-cheese argument there. Nothing in the middle.
