 Over here, medical insurance is mandatory. If you don't have it, you'll get a fine. The only exception are some fundy Christian people who think it's immoral or something; they don't have insurance, but pay extra taxes to compensate.
Actually, over here, car insurance is mandatory too if you own a car...
