Using those words, I tried to express the idea that a group's decision to force all individual members of the group to purchase health insurance can be seen as a choice that is taken in freedom and thanks to freedom.

"Forcing all individual members" and "freedom" do not belong in the same sentence unless that sentence is "Forcing all individual members of a group to do anything is taking away their freedom."

Sure, freedom is important too. But there are enough cases where it is better for the community as a whole to llimit freedom. I can't imagine that you don't agree on that one.

Depends on what you mean. Your freedom to swing your fist ends where my nose begins <s>. I will agree that much. However, this country was founded on the limiting the power of the government, not limiting freedom.

Hard to read for me, but I assume that it is about people who prefer slavery plus food to freedom. Is it felt like slavery if a democratic decision to force the whole citizenry to participate in a health insurance?

Yes.
