BO fining parents

I was watching some of the debate from last week online because i missed it. McCain brought up that Obama wants to fine parents who do not have health insurance on their children.
I'm not sure how most people feel about this, but isn't health insurance just as important as shelter, education and food. I definitely think that not insuring your children should fall into the neglect category. People can complain about the cost of health care but if you can't afford having a child, don't have one.
I guess i was wondering what others thought about this.

I agree it's definitely better than nothing.
Great response.
I love that you're looking for solutions! Let me ask you something...
What would be so wrong with a universal health care system, like Canada's?
The current major government run healthcare plan is Medicare. It is going insolvent. Why would I want to entrust all medical care to a Federal government that has been unable to run one program efficiently?
Yes I have private health insurance. I have no desire to have the insurance my state provides for the poor, It is inferior to the private insurance I presently purchase.
