Impeding changes to our Health Care system

Pay the fine, since I don't have health insurance, buy insurance, don't have enough to pay for it because I don't have a job, get the government to pay for it. Good to go!

And if you have a job or investment income or any wealth and chose to not have health insurance and suffer an accident or injury or require immediate major surgery for a heart attack, as Bruce's brother would potentially face, you are financial responsible for those medical costs....it could be only a $couple hundred for broken bone or $tens of thousands for major surgery.
