Up to $3,800 fine for failure get health insurance

This just seems so wrong.
If there is a way to make it cheaper or have tax breaks for some, okay...even though I wonder where all this money is going to come from.
But how in the hell can you fine someone for not having it.
Should we fine people who do not want to vaccinate babies?
Or have a prostate exam?
or whatever.

We are still a free country, right?
I know that becomes less and less true by the week, but shouldn't we fight for freedom?
