For the moment, no one's forcing anybody (except for one or two states) to buy health insurance. If you think they're crooked and/or overpriced. Don't buy it.
When I lost my civilian job, I had the option to continue coverage for a certain amount per month. This amount is a bit more than the typical cash price for a doctor's visit. After I considered the frequency with which I visit doctors for illness or injury (twice in this century-both service-related while serving on active duty) I concluded that I was better off without health insurance.
