No. Private insurance is simply pooling of risk by a group that has a common interest to minimize it. You don't understand competitive market theory, obviously. No one is forcing you to buy it and bump up those evil profit margins. Health insurance could be as competitive as auto insurance, if allowed. But I guess you would rather sponge. Get your low income exemption. Have others foot the bill for your gluttony and ignoramus lifestyle. Eating your food stamp twinkies and cupcakes all day. Then when your day of diabetes approaches, you expect the other guy to pay for it. Mandating that I buy into the government program or go to jail. How truly pathetic.
