JON STEWART: So this is what some would consider the first mall that's been created [for purchasing health care insurance].

STEWART: So why is it that individuals, though, couldn't say that they didn't want to do it just for a year, like business?

STEWART: Oh, they --
SEBELIUS: They'd pay a fine. They'd pay a fine at the end of the year, but they don't have to -- I mean, they can say I didn't want to do it. The theory is they can't pick and choose if they're going to get hit by a bus or diagnosed with a illness.
