You are not required to seek medical attention if you are sick or injured. Those who are uninsured cost the rest of us in the form of higher fees and higher premiums. Are states really exempt from the Constitution of the United States? Are states exempt from federal laws?

Not seeking medical attention: Correct, however in some cases the alternative to getting that attention is death or permanent impairment.

The uninsured do not cost us: Those who do not or cannot pay cost us. Uninsured people who pay for their treatment do not cost us a penny in increased fees.

States aren't exempt from the US Constitution, though in some cases I believe they are exempt from federal laws. Also in many cases, States have a greater ability to pass laws both restricting and putting burdens upon their citizens. Theft is not a Federal crime, in most cases murder isn't a federal crime. Buying Auto insurance is not a Federal law. These are all governed by State laws.
