Is forcing Americans to buy private health insurance, corporatism?

I mean we know its unconstitutional, but besides that. When the government forces Americans to buy a service from a private corporation, is that corporatism?
--------------------
No. It's civic responsibility. Health care providers have a moral obligation to treat anyone who is sick or injured. Too many people take advantage of this by neglecting to get health insurance and defaulting on their medical bills. This forces health care providers and health insurers to jack up their prices and premiums in order to stay profitable. It's time Americans stopped gambling with their health, especially since the people who don't are the ones stuck paying for the gambling losses.
