It's the same principle. By requiring everyone to carry some form of health insurance, be it public option or private, the over all cost of health care services will go down since there won't be any non payments for procedure. Economically speaking it's foolproof

That's assuming a public option exists. But people who can't afford the insurance for their vehicle have the option of not owning one. Under some proposals (without public option) you either pay or get fined. Where does this leave the people who can't afford either?
On a side note, I really don't know where I stand on this whole situation of health care reform or what's right. I just think the auto insurance comparison is silly.
