"The Federal government cannot mandate that someone buy a product and if they don’t, fine and imprison them. This is not like SS or anything else that we have ever seen. Every resident of this country must buy government approved health care insurance. It is unprecedented."

Yeah, well, I said the same thing in another thread. That is actually our best legal arguement out of this mess.

Read through these threads and other boards. Countless clueless claim they are not going to be forced to buy health insurance. It's actually in the Senate bill tha the House just passed.

Think of the millions and millions of youngsters who will say WTF? Really? I don't have the money. Then what? Oh yeah, the IRS with their new 16,000 agents will investigate and make them pay into Obambicare.

This is going to be funny to watch the IRS try to collect from kids who have squat. Wonder if the new and improved and newly armed IRS will go after the parents' assets? Wouldn't doubt it. We are now in the Brave New World where everyone MUST buy health insurance or have your assets taxed or be fined or imprisonment.

I'm going to love to see how that "Hopey Changey" thing works out for all those idiot college kids and their liberal parents. RWII is coming. Mark this post.

This thing is about as transparent as mud, but I think the provision for a fine is based on income at this point. No income no fine, though that might be imputed to the parents/guardian for a dependent.

This will be a hoot.

I own nothing. I have no income and so do not file a tax return, haven’t for years. Why file a piece of paper that says $0.00?

So how do I live? I take care of elderly relatives. They provide me with room and board, even allow me to use their computer.

I guess the Feds will have to throw me, also an old Navy vet, into the grey-bar hotel.

The government will pay for those who don't have money, just like we do now for the 60 million people on Medicaid. Obamacare adds another 11 to 15 million more to the rolls. The states pay half the cost. In the bill, poor people are automatically enrolled in the Medicaid system if they show up at a hospital without insurance. And the check to see if they are citizens is non-existent.

The IRS will go after the people who can afford health insurance and choose not to. They will have to pay a fine or go to jail.
