No, I'm not mixing up anything at all. You don't think the health insurance companies won't collude and set a minimum price? Look at the history of everything, it happens. Look at gas prices. You don't think Gas Company A couldn't sell for a lot less? They could. They don't want to.
Business is business. Money is money. It doesn't matter what industry.
Sure, there will be an industry wide price standard, but just like with anything, it will be based on the cost of producing the product.
I don't appreciate you telling me that you think it is right that the Government is FORCING me to buy a product.
I would argue that nature is forcing you to buy healthcare, not the government. Your teeth are forcing you to see a dentist. Your hair forces you to go to the barber. Your toenails force you to buy a toenail clipper. Well, maybe not those last two.

No, none of that is. If I want to be a slob, I should have that right. The Government isn't my mother telling me to go see a dentist, cut my hair, or trim my toenails. That is stuff *I* decide to do.

You have the right to be miserable but I bet if you broke a bone you wouldn't refuse to go to the hospital.
The government isn't making everyone buy pet rocks. The government is equalizing the costs of an essential service for all Americans.
