Don’t buy? Pay the tax.
Don’t pay the Tax? Tax lien on your house.
Sell your house? Not until you pay off the lien.
We won’t even talk about wage garnishment.
I am an impoverished senior citizen, a widow, and just lost my home. And I will NOT submit. At least in jail I am guaranteed three hots and a cot.
And healthcare.
No, we won’t buy it. We can’t afford it, no matter what the SCOTUS says. We had to drop it this year when our payments went to 1050.00 a month, and that was just for my hubby. I don’t have any insurance. We pay out of pocket for his meds and doctor appointments.
I will not. There is no enforcement mechanism.
Should the law still be in effect in 2014, we will not buy. Life is about choices, and this is one of ours.
It does not matter. Deathcare is here. Medicare is refusing “unnecessary” medical procedures (that are necessary) even if you can raise the money and pay cash. My Wife (Neurologist) reported this week a case of this. The only solution is the ballot box and in particular the Senate.
Has anyone noticed the intersection of this decision—complete with its dire implications for religious liberty—with the feast of the 2nd Century Martyr Irenaeus of Lyons and the eve of the feast of the martyrdom of the great Apostles Peter and Paul?
part of 0bamacare is increased funding for baby killing
I ain’t paying
What about the 50 million “illegals”????? They don’t pay for insurance now. Will they be fined,deported, or continue getting it for free????
One thing that is 100% certain to lower health costs overall and that is NO INSURANCE period.
As long as we keep subsidizing what doctors, hospitals, labs, farm-A-Sue-dickels charge, there are no market forces to keep costs in check.
Not only do the subsidies keep the costs artificially high, the cost of administering the insurance plans, money paid to salesmen/saleswomen and commissions to brokers, and the huge salaries paid to the CEOs have to be paid by somebody and that somebody is the policy holder regardless if their employer “pays for it”. Dirty secret, your free or reduced policy from your employer is part of your salary. It is part of the cost of hiring you.
A much better case can be made for government food as you will die without food but you certainly can live without healthcare. Maybe not as well or as long but you can live without it. Hell doctors/hospitals don’t even guarantee their work even though they claim to be highly trained professionals.
Even though my wife works for a large insurance company, I always tell the doctor, lab, diagnostic operation that I don’t have coverage and my cost is always lower than what is normal and customary rate paid.
What we do need is a bare minimum out of pocket per year co-pay then a fixed percentage of income for charges beyond co-pay so that the customer/patient is always affected somewhat by their use of the medical system but not enough to put them into bankruptcy.
Doctors/lawyers and government are depending on milking us just like a dairy cow. They will keep us alive as long as they can keep milking us to keep them and their ruling elite friends in a comfortable life style. Once we no longer produce milk they want the death panels to do exactly what George Bernard Shaw wanted and that was we had to justify our existence and if we did not....worm chow.
Can you get an exemption if you are a Muslim?...Some have told me so. Allah Akbar!

I refuse.
I’ll go to jail.
Civil Disobedience.
Fill the prisons with millions of conscentious objectors, and overwhelm the system.
Crash and burn, USA, you can’t enslave the people without consequences.
I had ruled out moving myself and my company to some offshore location, but I’ll re-evaluate that. If I stay in the US then, if I’m carrying too many parasites on my back I’ll just “go Galt”... and maybe become a parasite myself.
I say, Obama can eat shit and die.
Several Freepers have hit on the core of the problem. Once government got involved in education, the cost went up by hundreds of percent. When government got involved in healthcare, the cost went up by hundreds of percent. In both cases they passed laws to fix the problem they created.
As I know the ultimate goal of ObamaCare is to get everyone in the country in a single-payer system, I have no idea what we'll do after 2014, assuming the GOP can't repeal ObamaCare.
We have zero intention of signing up for Deathcare. Since we are self employed and have not seen a tax refund in 20 years the IRS is going to have a hard row to hoe collecting from us. Our advice to them will be to put a lien on our house since its now worth less than we owe.
Those fortunate to have good insurance like me...will lose that good coverage. Probably will be forced on ObamaCare....will not purchase if I have to do it on my own
ObamaCare will be unenforceable....we have laws for requiring auto insurance....but large numbers do not have it. Rarely enforced until after an accident or other infraction
