The FedGov nixed the Humana/Aetna sale, so they are basically letting the FedGov know they had better be careful what they wish for.
Health care is going down in price while health insurance is going up insanely.
This is why I opt out of insurance altogether since the day the mandate took affect. I’ve saved over $40k after tax dollars. :-)
United Healthcare spent 10 million dollars by sending thousands of reps out all across the country to visit hospitals and doctors , extolling the virtues of the proposed Affordable Care Act..................then they lost close to 600 million dollars in record time. There IS a God!!
(thanks Lord)
when doe jail kick in for not buying insurance?
And this doesn’t even count abortions
No penalty. I’m protected by the 8% rule. And at the rate of insurance price increases, I’ll be able to earn $150k of taxable income per year without worrying about the penalty.
They sure misunderestimated the tea party that was going to result.
They can tax you for it still? Though they can do nothing to collect the tax, though they can bill you for it till Kingdom Come. (If Trump has his way, however, I bet they won’t, as part of an abolition package.)
Jail for not paying is mindbogglingly unlikely for anyone. There is no enforcement plan yet. What is the criminal penalty for not having health insurance? I don’t believe there is one yet.
It’s kinda like when prohibition was passed. There was no mechanism by which to arrest anyone. It only allowed for the laws to be passed.
It took the Volstead act to give it teeth.

I think Obamacare is waiting for its own Volstead act...
And the ObamaCrats will promptly give the taxpayers the ‘bird’
That’s the beauty of it. I always owe at the end of the year, and at 62, insurance is so expensive that the 8% rule allows me to earn quite a bit. And the cost of insurance is skyrocketing, making the 8% rule enable me to make tens of thousands more per year and not be liable for the penalty.
If I was in my 20’s or 30’s, this would not be the case.
Pop tarts aren’t healthy?
They’re not the only ones...
How has the death rate increased? Last time I checked, it was 100%.
Where TF were they when Obama was foisting this unconstitutional crap on us in the first place? Answer: they were snookered by Obama into believing that they’d make more money with O’care than as things were. Now that this isn’t the case, they’re all upset.
My extraordinarily low opinion of insurance companies, especially health insurance companies, has hit a new low (and I didn’t think that this was possible).
Insurance companies are in business to make money. If they can’t make money off Obamacare then they will end their participation.
Planned single payer coming your way.
These companies are only doing this because Obama is black!
