There's not actually /insurance/ except for in the largest sense; it's more about health cost payment, cost control, and how badly individuals can be excluded or directly charged if coverage isn't required for all at the same input rate.
I am all for requiring everyone to be part of the same single coverage pool so that the costs of medical coverage in society are more fairly distributed across all. In that respect I also support /broad/ and /generic/ taxes on things that are known to be unhealthy; such as specific addictive recreational drugs. (For example, don't tax only soda, but it's OK to tax all drinks that aren't water.)
