If many or most of healthy younger types don’t sign up, opting for the fine; and most with preexisting conditions do sign up, are the insurance carriers going to absorb the losses or the taxpayer?
Does the term “adverse selection” exist anymore? I suppose we can’t talk about that or the government subsidizing those who lie about their income, which can’t be verified. The Feds gather tons of data and somehow can’t determine how much you earned last year?
So, just so I am clear about this.
These “Fees”, monthly premiums are actually a “TAX” ?.
A tax that varies based on your age, gender, income, state, smoking status etc ??
If rats really wanted all yutes to sign up for “health care” ,why didn’t they make the fines for not doing so close to or the same as what the plan would cost?
