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.

I admit I haven't read the current bill, I would assume that if a public option doesn't exist then the gov't isn't going to force someone who can't possibly afford health insurance to buy it or be fined. But if one exists then you should have to have either the public option or private insurance in order to be treated medically.
