Oh really? Forcing people to buy a product from a private company under the penalty of jail time if they refuse is not authoritarian? That's just one of many examples.
I have a better example. People with no insurance that go to the emergency room and have a serious condition that requires immediate attention. Like surgery. Whom do you think pays for the surgeon, doctors, nurses, radiology, lab, meds, and other miscellaneous??
I have an even better example....24 year old kid right out of college gets a nice $65,000 a year job. When asked if he want's health insurance he says no thanks, then he goes out and buys a BMW and a condo. Now multiply that by 15,994,347 million. Who do you think pays for his healthcare when he needs it?
My point is that it is a lot more expensive to care for sick people for free than it is for them to buy health insurance. I haven't the slightest idea what point you are attempting to make.
