Maybe it means he'll be "made" to buy health insurance but in order to be able to do so he has to give up his vehicle because he can't afford insurance on his vehicle AND his health. And maybe it goes a bit further...maybe his vehicle is a "must have" for the line of work he's in (construction).
Just throwing out a different spin on it.
