The proper course for govt here is to expand Medicare to provide the services the market fails to provide. Compelling people to not only participate in a market, but also purchase certain policies, and insurers to provide certain policies, demands citizens engage in privity of contract with certain private parties.

Force you to do business with government entity (Medicare) = freedom.
Force you to do business with a private company of your choosing = tyranny.
Okay.

You're aware that corporations are creations of governments, right?
