That’s silly. Vaccinations are an important part of healthcare. It is not all of healthcare. 110 years ago, the supreme court ruled that state mandated vaccinations are legal. And smallpox was eradicated. Do you think that was a bad idea?

Most agree both mandatory vaccinations and health care insurance are good public health policies. The issue is politics, whether or not the government can coerce you to immunize. If so, then it sure can force you to carry health insurance. I think this is going to be a huge election issue in the Republican primary 2016.
