If all else fails, just rent a PO box in another state and tell them you moved there. It will be cancelled pronto.

Most. Stupid. Administration. Ever.

[SkyPilot]

So I guess I will have to pay a penalty.

It's not a penalty. That's such harsh language. Use the IRS term - "Shared Responsibility Payment."

[MaxMax]

Their EIC will be ransacked? No new big screen? OMGosh....

[JennysCool]

They’ll just have to wait until next year. When it’s worse.

[JennysCool]

Blackmailed ... or otherwise threatened by guys who came to his house and said, “You wouldn’t wanna get in the way of HISTORY, would ya?”

Dispute threatens coverage for Blue Shield, Sutter Health customers

140,573 Covered California members (Obamacare) have just learned that their policy ain’t worth squat.

Wait till they find out that your fine (mine) will be based on the income of the ENTIRE house.

My parents are elderly so I moved in with them. I will have to have a copy of their tax return when I file mine.

And THAT will determine what I will be fined.

Why do we need state or federal run these things called “exchages”?

I don’t buy my clothes, houses, automobiles, food, or gasoline from an “exchange.” I use this thing called a “free market” which provides for the free exchange of goods and services for money at market-clearing prices.

[VanShuyten]

My sister is in the same boat. She quit her job to help take care of our invalid mom. She gets some alimony, but the cost of Obamacare without any subsidy makes it so it’s cheaper for her to pay the IRS instead. She’s healthy enough so that the big deductibles aren’t worth it. I hope this gets put down before she’s required to buy it.

Here’s a prediction: Scotues will allow the subsidy to stand.

[PGR88]

I assume they are counting “enrollees” as those who join through state exchanges as well?

I live in Blue New York, and I was FORCED to buy my insurance through the corrupt, crony-capitalist, progressive “Exchange.”

[KevinB]

Here’s a prediction: Scotues will allow the subsidy to stand.

Not a shot.

[spokeshave]

Well...this guy looks like he's doing OK as a "Navigator"

Navigator (to self)...."this sure beats Polar Bear Hunting....easier on the knuckles.....just a few clicks of the mouse here and I have them spinning all the way from the Ward to the Morgue.

[Jeff Chandler]

I think Roberts will fear the anger caused by the disruption of Bobocare and decide to bail it out again. He will agree that Congress actually intended to provide subsidies for all.

[BenLurkin]

“Protecting” healthcare is exactly what they didn’t do.

[Graybeard58]

if the Supreme Court finds in favor of the plaintiffs, it would mean that the 5.6 million people currently receiving subsidies via Healthcare.gov, the federally run exchange, would no longer receive those payments

And should have to pay back any they have already received but don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

[Graybeard58]

“Not a shot”

Agree.

[Ray76]

> very few of those enrollees currently receiving a subsidy could afford healthcare without federal assistance.

Or pay back the subsidy they have been given.

[gitmo]

But what are the Odessa the Supreme Court will agree the law says what it says?

At least those insanely annoying Obamacare "we're your pets" jingles finally stopped airing out here in Calif. every five minutes. It was like living in north Korea with the state-run TV channel blaring.
