We can compel military service (the draft), but we can't compel health insurance?

11. That explains the mandates used in many other countries. It fails to address the ACA specifics

Most of our peer nations with universal health care do not use single payer, and many many of them employ a mandate to purchase health care policies. In all of those nations, it is a crime to profit from the providing of a mandated health insurance product. So to defend the ACA's mandate, you need to address the requirement to contribute to the profit of others which is utterly the opposite of all existing mandates in our democratic peer nations. Even if we agree that a mandate is necessary, you still need to convince me that profits make our mandate superior to other mandates. Why does our law enshrine profits from these products when other nations consider profit from such products to be criminal?
Let's say a mandate is essential. Now tell me how that profit requirement serves those who are mandated to purchase. Skirting that all important difference between the ACA and the many functioning heath insurance mandates around the world does not make that difference vanish.
