Nick Gillespie: How many Americans will choose to remain uninsured even if insurance is mandatory?

• 18 percent of Americans still don't buckle up
• 15 percent of school children don't get vaccinated for chickenpox
• 15 percent of drivers don't buy car insurance

On mandated health insurance, no one knows the answer, but at first the penalty is only $95. It will go up, of course, because the government wants to throw everybody into the pool to lower costs and raise revenue.
