Not force, just the veiled threat that if you don't pay you won't have healthcare.

Everyone will require healthcare at some point, and at the points where you need the most you can't go do some window shopping and price comparison. Why make it more difficult, cumbersome, expensive, and bureaucratic? Ideologues can be rather illogical.

Like any other service, you’ll just pay for it with your money.
How do people without money get access to this essential service?

Less sick people is better in general for a society, not only socially but also economically speaking, do you agree with this statement?

Through two options; insurance or debt.

I agree with the statement as you present it, all other things being equal.

I'm not sure why I forgot perhaps the most important; charity!
