Steve,

I wasn't trying to argue with you, my friend. Just trying to make sure that historical fact isn't represented incorrectly.

As for the homeless question - one can only assume a homeless person would qualify for medicaid or its equivelant - and would thus be provided free insurance just as they are now. If you have an income that disqualifies you from such aid, then you would be mandated to purchase coverage. A failure to do so will mean you are subject to a penalty fee imposed by the government.
