Why would they need to pay up front if they have insurance? Or are you suggesting that your opt out system would make insurance companies forcibly drop everyone who doesn't opt in? You're not making much sense with your hyperbole situation.
However, even then I would only support it if I could also opt out of social security, Medicare, Medicaid, and any other government programs that are supposedly for my own good.
Those that currently have insurance are not affected by the ACA. This is for those that currently do not have insurance, and refuse to get it.
Ah, now I see where you're going with this. I think it would be up to the doctors to work out an arrangement.
Doctors are not paid to provide a public service. Just like mentioned before, if you don't have an insurance plan to pay them, you need to pay cash up front to do so.
Why should someone else's bill be paid by you that refuses to pay? That doesn't sound right, does it?
