I shouldn't be forced to buy for-profit health ins.

I'm not going to try to do that but if you look you can find the information and at the present you misunderstand. My 2 cents

FEMA concentration camps where the Obama Death Panels will adjudicate the seriousness of the offence and decide what to do with the organs.


because if the smilie ain't there some dim bulb isn't going to be able to figure it out.

do it.

I once forgot to paste my car license renewal tags on before the old ones expired. A traffic cop noticed, and I had to pay a fine. In effect, I am forced to pay for and paste on new license plate tags every year.

You have a choice, buy health insurance or pay a fine.

Most people would say that applying a penalty for not doing something is the same as forcing you to do something.

But I realize that different principles may apply on your planet.

there are no consequences. That is how it is written. The fine is negligible as it is, but for those who can't afford the fine or just refuse to pay, there are no consequences. You should read it (the ACA).

But then again, that is why this is before SCOTUS. There *isn't* an existing example of how we already do it in this instance.

But it's the most important piece of legislation since the Magna Carta..

There are only civil penalties defined in the law (no criminal penalties) and the government can make a finding that you owe the fee/penalty but they cannot do anything to collect - no levies, no liens, no garnishments, etc. So why have it?

‘‘(B) LIMITATIONS ON LIENS AND LEVIES.—The Sec- retary shall not—
‘‘(i) file notice of lien with respect to any property of a taxpayer by reason of any failure to pay the pen- alty imposed by this section, or
‘‘(ii) levy on any such property with respect to such failure.’’.

And the mandate is the critical part of the legislation..

In fact, it's even more of a mandate; it's a tax. That's how it works in those places you mentioned. Who did you think pays for health care there?

Subsidies for the poor. Payments are based on income. It's, you know, a progressive premium, just like income taxes used to be.

I'm all for a mandate to pay a tax to fund healthcare for all......like Medicare For All.

owes the doctor money. He is a cook and money goes so far. I mean tests cost alot. He has health insurance through work but it is terrible. We usually end up paying for their medicines. To be honest I am sick and tired of having to do that. Really am. He needs to see the doctor and he won't see him. I don't know how much he owes but he is the only one working in his house. What are people suppose to do? His wife had to take her son to the ER the other night because he got hit on his arm and he thought it was broke. His natural father doesn't have insurance on him. My son has put him on his insurance. Going to the ER is going to cost over $1,000 for that visit. My son told his wife he would not pay it. The natural father gives him only $40.00 a per month to help pay for his insurance and that isn't all the time. I told my son that he would end up being responsible he didn't make it clear that he has to pay part of his out of pocket bills. It is crazy. Crazy. We need health care people can afford.

will go broke. Isn't EVERYTHING supposed to be for the profit of SOMEONE?
