Actually, the way the new HCR works will be something like that. The
US government will make an adjustment to the tax code to charge every
American a higher tax rate to account for health insurance costs. When
it comes time to file your taxes, you will be given a deduction for
having health insurance. You'll have to provide paperwork or some
other documentation to prove that you have health insurance. Once you
do that, you will be eligible for a tax deduction of up to $2500 for a
family of four. If you don't have health insurance, you won't get the
deduction, ergo, you will end up paying something into the system.

People who don't opt for health insurance won't even notice that
they've been taxed for not getting health insurance. It's along the
lines of homeowners being able to take a deduction for mortgage
interest while renters are not privy to the deduction.
