Death and Taxes. Not Death, healthcare, vaccines, education.

The government doesn't require me to get vaccines. Nor does it require me to educate my children.

I agree with you on vaccines. I'm not sure, legally, that you are correct about education (look into truancy laws).

Now, you can homeschool if you choose, or place your children in a private school. But I'm not sure, legally, that you can leave them completely uneducated.

State laws require certain vaccines [with exemptions] before you attend school: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/imz-managers/laws/state-reqs.ht...

Private schools can also require vaccines.

These are good things. We want people to be vaccinated and literate.

We want everyone to be able to receive medical care. In the US, that means we want everyone to be insured.

Well, correct as far as healthcare goes, even with the ACA "mandate". You can choose not to get insurance, and you get some extra taxes in return.
