We already have something similar to that here in Massachusetts. Everyone has to prove they have health insurance on their income tax forms or they get penalized. I think its either pay more tax or don't get your refund, whichever is the case.

Not in 1000 words or less.
Some of the basic causes are too few general practitioners, exorbitant malpractice insurance rates, too many people using ERs as doctors offices, too many without basic coverage and lawyers (tort reform).
All cost money which gets passed onto the consumer in the form of outrageous hospital bills and over priced insurance premiums.
