Endive Wombat: mesmer242: There are both exceptions and special programs for the poor.

Cheesus: Good thing they're offering subsidies to people like that.

dumbobruni: uh, if you are dirt poor you get subsidized to buy insurance. and the definition of poor has been expanded by ACA, however that only works if you live in a state that isn't resisting compliance.

/Dems and the White House are doing a terrible job selling the benefits of ACA

Fine.

Say I make $90,000 a year and just do not want insurance? What then?

I don't know. Maybe your stupid?

This is just a tax on not living in Massachusetts.

Freaking Cape Cod elites always finding a way to screw everyone else while saving themselves the money.

Lando Lincoln: AccuJack: They also need to stop providing incentives in welfare for people to have kids they can't afford.

You don't have any kids, do you.

Kids cost WAY MORE than any tax breaks or welfare increases.

Not if you teach them to steal at a young age, then they pay for themselves.

madgonad: it will still be enforced the same way every other tax law is.

No, it won't be. There are no criminal penalties for not paying it.

EnviroDude: How long will it be before they start enforcement? I am reminded of the seatbelt laws. At first, it would be a secondary offense with only a warning. Then it turned into a secondary offense with a fine. Then it turned into a primary offense with a fine. There is only one thing you can count on about the government, when you try to deprive them of their money that they want, you will be punished for it.

I give it until 2018 before the first person that refuses to pay a fine for not having insurance ends up in jail (where he will have insurance).

/remember, your taxes are "voluntary". What happens if you don't pay them "voluntarily"?

If you also stop consuming services paid for with these taxes, by leaving the US and abandoning your citizenship, nothing at all. If you continue to take advantage of services I am paying for and refuse to pay your share you would be prosecuted.

I'm really liking the Republican version of Obamacare. We get all the benefits, and no one has to pay for anything. Who said there's no such thing as a free lunch? NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM
