Morally, as a single 30-something with no children, it seems preferable to pay the IRS fine than to purchase health insurance. Paying the IRS means there's a chance some of my money will go towards roads or schools or another beneficial cause. While if I buy the absurd amount of health insurance required by law - enough to insure a family of 5 - I'd only be lining the pockets of insurance executives.

Sure, it's stupidly expensive, but like - that's health insurance these days. Assuming you do take that up, it's good to know that, if you end up breaking your leg or developing surprise cancer, you're going to stick everyone else with your grossly inflated, probably 5 or 6 figure bill (indirectly, of course). Thanks, I guess.
