Since driving is a priviledge (and not a right) why don't we require everyone that wants a driver license to show proof of medical insurance? If you are poor, and can't afford health insurance, then you can apply to the government and get health insurance. If you can't get health insurance because you have AIDS or something then you just show the government you can't get health insurance so you get the government health insurance. In both cases these people can get a drivers license. If you make less than $100,000 a year and don't drive then you get government health insurance. This would encourage people to take public transit. If you make more than a $100,000 a year and you show up at the hospital without health insurance you are taken out back and shot.
Thoughts?

If you're middle- or upper-class, the hospital can sue you when you don't pay for medical care provided. It's the poor who are judgment proof.
