It's about forcing you to do these things at gunpoint (and yes, a gunpoint is somewhere in your future if you stop paying your taxes) by raising taxes (by 3.8%) and by forcing you to buy health insurance when you don't want to do so.

And yet I'd bet you'd be the first to expect to get treated in an emergency room if you didn't have health insurance and something bad happened. The reality is that nobody wants to live in a country where people are allowed to die on the streets because they are poor. If you accept that as a premise, then at some point it is necessary for us all to accept some kind of mandate to participate in the health care system. The alternative is the current situation, the worst of all worlds, where emergency rooms end up being the safety net for those without insurance, and we all pay through the nose for it.
