Or they'd rather drive the nice car, eat fast food or other restaurants, have several magazine and newspaper subscriptions, cable TV, high speed internet access, pre-made meals, go to movies, have nice clothes/shoes/accessories, fancy soaps and lotions, etc.

If someone can't TRULY afford health insurance, we all know the government will be there to pay it for them. The vast majority of people who don't have insurance are spending their money on things they can do without.
