Elections have consequences.

Waiting for the “memo” absolving all of appropriate folks from the law.

ObamaCare fines loom for uninsured

Hey, John Roberts says it's an excise tax!

[TBP]

So it’s a fine? I thought it was a “tax”.

[proxy_user]

How many will discover they owe, and just not file? It takes years to catch up with people who do this.

I just came back from trying to get health insurance. I came home empty handed. They wanted $400.00/month for just the bare bones basic stuff. May not sound much to some but I do not have that money to spare. I do not.

Insurance companies love charging us for coverage we will never use like drug abuse and promiscuity.

If you are able to keep your pants zipped until you are married, drink responsibly (or not at all) and avoid shoving cocaine up your nose, then you are a sucker.

[SpaceBar]

Millions have been turned into scofflaws overnight, and I’m one of them.

[A CA Guy]

My wife saw her insurance cost go up 300%. My 6 year old went up about 200% and I and my wife's Aunt and Uncle dropped our insurance because of affordability and lack of choice of what we wanted.
So now though my son an wife are insured, the Democrats and government want a war on women and children by charging the 2% tax on the WHOLE family income instead of just me?
Why is my wife's income being fined if she is covered. Seems an inequity and somehow it seems illegal.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Sounds like a head tax to me.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Wait till Feb. and March when those refunds come up short because the IRS took out those fines.
Gone be some screamin'.

[PROCON]

Was there anything in the article about when we’re going to get our $2500/year savings?

[pallis]

Two percent of our annual income would be far less than what we are paying for insurance now, not to mention the fact that even with insurance, we can’t afford the deductibles that are now standard fare since big insurance started preparing for Obamacare. Since most industrial policies that help during catastrophic occurrences have been eliminated with Obamacare law, Deductibles are so impractical as to make insurance nonsense.

[Red Badger]

... hit with fines of $325 per adult or 2 percent of family income, whichever is higher.

There's gonna be a BIG surprise come APRIL 15 for a whole lotta folks....................

[VanDeKoik]

Next up: normalizing relations with Iran.

Keep those distractions coming!

[terycarl]

How does this affect people who are religiously opposed to insurance..I think the Amish don’t have insurance?????And how about the muslims, do they buy insurance??

[Varsity Flight]

The beginning of Arbeitsziehungslager.

And it has to stop. If allowed to continue, by incrementalization, (actuarial declarations, and any D.C. agency) leads to further forced compliance’s. Not unlike the policies (”police”) beginning under the Kaiser.

Tax penalties may not be collected this upcoming tax season

Vermont Trashes Plan For Single-Payer Health Care Under Obamacare To Avoid Tax Hikes

By Taylor Tyler | Dec 18, 2014 02:04 PM EST

Peter Shumlin Democrat

Vermont’s governor announced Wednesday that the state will be trashing its plan to set up a single-payer health care system under the Affordable Care Act. The plan would have made Vermont the first state in the country with a universal and publicly funded health care system.

Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin said the decision was made largely because, in order to fund it, the state would be required to considerably increase taxes, and it would be too much for the state to handle. He called it the biggest disappointment of his career, reported The Associated Press.
