Is having the freedom of being uninsured more *important* to you than having comprehensive medical coverage?

Having the freedom to choose should always be paramount to freedom. Why can't we have both the freedom to choose comprehensive medical coverage or no coverage? Why force someone to pay for something they may not be able to afford to pay for and may not even need? Some people have a hard enough time paying the bills they already got. Now we are going to make them add another bill. I agree we need coverage that is affordable and accepts people regardless of preexisting conditions and actually covers moderate to serious health concerns. But it should still be a choice to obtain it.
