No, and Smilin' Jim is a blatant liar. You do not have to get healthcare, but if you don't, you have to pay a fine at the end of the year. Everyone must contribute to it. You Conservatives can't sit out on the sidelines all filled with pride like, well I'm young and stupid and I'll never need it!"
Because you will one day. And you'll be happy we have it, when you get brain damage and can no longer work and/or take care of yourself or your family.

It can force Americans to get car insurance. And drivers licenses for that matter. Why not health insurance. You may like the coercion involved, but it's already established legal precedent.

If your friend choose to pay the fine instead of getting healthcare that is up to him or her. If he or she gets sick or injured it could lead to bankruptcy or not receiving needed treatment but that is up to him.
Anonymous is correct that Smilin' Jim is both lying to you and is also a coward. Anyone that points out his lies or the stupidity of his Q&A's he blocks. The cowards way to avoid being shown to be a fool.

Everyone I know is paying the fine because it's cheaper

He will have to keep paying a larger and larger fine every year until the fines are more than the insurance premiums.

You can pay the fine instead. You don't even have to pay taxes. You can go to jail instead if you wish.
