The CBO is running the scoring here. I’m using those numbers since they’re nonpartisan and based on the law as it exists.

They (and I) aren’t going to assume 100% compliance when that doesn’t happen in other areas of insurance. We don’t have 100% compliance in auto insurance. According to one study, the range of uninsured drivers is 10-14% nationally from 1999 to 2004, but the range by state varies from 20% to 4-5%.

States and insurers deal with uninsured drivers by setting up uninsured drivers’ funds, which are generated from those who are insured, along with increased penalties to force compliance.
