Come and get me, Federales.
Gee, what a selfish jerk, not wanting to subsidize others
Who would have thunk it? Folks thinking rationally when it comes to spending THEIR money.
there is no penalty if you juggle
your withholding correctly.
No!
Redistributing health insurance money makes it “free” for the parasites who vote correctly. Obamacare is working precisely as planned.
My twenty-eight yo absolutely refuses to buy in to BO care.
Says he’d rather pay the penalty.
You mean if I’m healthy I have to buy health insurance? What about muslims? They say it’s un-islamic to buy health insurance because it’s a form of gambling. You’re betting on staying healthy ...
Except Dan Lopez and guys like him voted for the Marxist.
“Health insurers fear young people will opt out”
If healthy, they would be fools not to opt out
He can pay the $100 dollar fine and if something happens to his health he can buy Obmacare then. When he gets well he can drop it again, and buy it as often as he likes.
Any young person would be foolish to buy insurance when they can buy it if and when they get sick.
This whole Obama Care train wreck is getting interesting. At the rate it’s being slow walked to it’s death, it is only a matter of time before our overloads decide the only way to fix it is to make it a single payer system, The plan since day one.
don’t feel you should pay for what you don’t use?.
funny... I feel the same about 65% of my tax bill
This underscores the real disconnect between Obamacare and reality. And no one, nobody, has challenged or even questioned the absurdity of the Alice-in-Wonderland endeavor.
Redefining the total language is cool, I suppose, until everyone realizes that in the process, the asses have also redefined reality.
Obamacare may be many "things," but "insurance" it is not.
Since the 17th Century, Insurance has been defined as paying premiums to cover an event, the premiums being fundamentally and inflexibly proportional to the risks involved. Insurance is a for-profit business. Removing that from its definition, makes it something else.
Obviously, forcing the new reality "insurance" totally to ignore the risk-cost link makes it into a new animal, one with an internal contradiction, regardless of having "stolen" the name "insurance." Doesn't take much thought or IQ to accept that if you create a new animal, which has feathers, lays eggs and has six legs, and calling it a goat, doesn't make it a goat, whether the notion is adopted as "legally enacted legislation," or not.
Attempting to destroy reality in the most byzantine manner possible, just to create a new form of welfare, without calling it welfare, and claiming it will save taxpayer money, in the ultimate insanity.
Young people, hell. I’m in my 40s and I have no intention of buying into this shi-ite. I’m doing what I can to stay healthy, and when I need a doctor, I’ll pay cash.
You don’t need insurance as long as you don’t have income or assets and Medicaid is available for the poor.
Meanwhile, young people should consider shielding assets in anticipation of a medical illness that results in qualifying for Medicaid. A mattress will do quite well or this purpose.
The only chance a lot of these uninsureds had to get covered was the employer mandate and that is probably gone for good.
$3000 a year premium? Hell, that’s a BARGAIN!
