Why there are penalties in the Health Care bill

If the Health Care bill is so awesome and everything, why are there the go-to-jail provisions in it? The simple answer is because the Democrats think people will try to avoid getting health insurance. But that just kicks the can down the road - why would people avoid getting health insurance?

Coyote Blog hits center mass:
Young, healthy people will be forced to subsidize the old and those with pre-existing conditions by the rules imposed on insurance companies. These rules effectively make it impossible to charge full cost to the old and sick, so that the young and the healthy will have to pay more. Because the young and the healthy will not see values in policies at the prices they will be paying (given these transfers), they won’t value the policy with is EXACTLY why the law has to force them to buy it. Which is why it is a tax.
Boy, all that youthful excitement for Obama sure was misplaced.
