Hopefully the Repubs will get control of both houses and neuter that law.

Originally posted by normbenignIt would probably be a very good thing for the economy if we got away from the perverse system where employers provide health insurance.
Just wait for the employer mandate to kick in. Many marginal employers will pay the fine and offload health care premiums.
Originally posted by normbenignIt's seems rather clear that, at most, only a very small percentage of those without health insurance will pay the penalty.

Like most tax legislation there are not any real cuts, just shifts. Somebody has to pay.

Originally posted by caissad4I really can't see how that is possibly true. Even if you don't fit into one of the numerous categories of exemptions, your premium cost must be less than 8% of your income. That is considerably below the average paid by the average family in the US and a reasonable price for such an important item as health care insurance. Your "can't afford it" would be rhetoric in that case.
Sorry, not exempt. 😠ðŸ˜
Originally posted by no1marauderReally. Try making $9 hr and being a smoker. My rates would be affordable if I could quit smoking and replace it with heroin and excessive drinking. And then it would be a policy with a $5000 deductible. Of course I wouldn't get that rate til I had quit smoking for 2 years. Smoking is a serious addiction so don't wheel out the anti-smoking dismissive rhetoric.
