Many people have belief systems that dictate the not utilize mainstream medicine. I know other nations do it, but my born and bred American mentality screams "NO FAIR" at making them pay for something they will never use.
In my mind, that's the same as forcing everyone to buy cabbage, pork and beer every week, even if they hate it, are allergic to it, happen to not eat unclean meats (or meat at all), and can't or don't drink alcohol.
Yes there needs to be some kind of reform to allow those that cannot currently afford health care to get proper care IF they desire, but forcing the cost on everyone is not the answer.
