In two years the fine will exceed the cost of the insurance.

Is that in the law? Because for damned sure no Republican is going to vote for that fix.

Besides you only need a few months to Cloward-Piven the system into oblivion.

Apparently this is the law as of now-

“Starting in 2014, most people will have to have insurance or pay a “penalty deducted from your taxable income”. For individuals, penalty starts at $95 a year, or up to 1% of income, whichever is greater, and rise to $695, or 2.5% of income, by 2016.

For families the tax will be $2,085 or 2.5% percent of household income, whichever is greater. The requirement can be waived for several reasons, including financial hardship or religious beliefs. If the tax would exceed 8% of your income you are exempt, also some religious groups are exempt. That tax cannot exceed the cost of a “bronze plan” bought on the exchange.

While some states, including Alabama, Wyoming and Montana, have passed laws to block the requirement to carry health insurance, those provisions do not override federal law.

Also it’s important to note that even if one does elect to pay the fine, one will still not have insurance, thus it is essentially money being paid for nothing, much like all other taxes.
