Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.
According to the Congressional Budget Office the lowest cost family non-group plan under the Speaker’s bill would cost $15,000 in 2016.

Screw em. Can't put everyone in jail.
I’ll be right there with ya.
With the unemployment rates so high and people not being able to find full time jobs, they settle for part-time and if they do not participate, everything they make and then some would go to pay for penalties???????
This is so insane!
If and when my government does this, that government becomes an Enemy of the Republic. Seriously.
And then line up for sick call every day. Free health care.
Another angle to make freedom loving Americans felons, taking away our right to vote and own guns.
This is the government our forefathers warned us about.
Come on, Pelosi. Come and get me and put me in jail for not buying your Obamadeathcare. You try that on a few of us good ol’ Southern boys, and you’re gonna find out why we think “the South will rise again”.
At this rate, I’ll need free room and board soon anyway.
Solzhenitsyn’s wisdom may be updated by simply substituting “tyrants” for “communists” (but they’re synonyms, aren’t they?). And be warned that they are EVERYWHERE. Get my drift?
“...At what exact point, then, should one resist the
communists?...”
“How we burned in the prison camps later thinking: what
would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good bye to his family?
“Or if during periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang on the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand...the Organs (police) would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers...and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt.”
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Gulag Archipelago
Agreed.
How is this even constitutional?
That’s about it.
I’m not buying some scum-sucking $15,000 health insurance policy. I’ll do the honorable thing instead, and purchase health care off the black market.
It’s not.
We’ll freaking Cloward-Piven the courts.
This bill drips with the blood of the unborn, the infirmed and elderly.
How can anyone with any conscience support such a monstrosity?
Do they not fear God?
The C word is appropriate.
PAY MORE TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE HEALTH CARE YOU NOW HAVE SO WE CAN COVER ILLEGAL ALIENS OR ELSE YOU WILL GO TO JAIL!
“Do they not fear God?”
No, they think they’re God.
