Inspection money goes to the government? That's an honest question, I don't really know. I certainly pay it to a private company.

Regardless, there's still the option to not own that property. It's an important point in distinguishing it from the requirement to buy health insurance simply because you're alive. That, to my knowledge, is absolutely unprecedented, and an incredibly slippery slope.
