Your over reacting... Your state more then likely requires auto insurance and your home financer requires you to have home owners insurance... Health insurance will be the same...
Bad argument. You only need auto insurance if you have a car. You only need homeowner insurance if you own a home. You must have health insurance if you breathe.
Beginning in 2014, those who do not comply with the mandate must make a "[s]hared responsibility payment" to the Federal Government. §5000A(b)(1). The Act provides that this "penalty"will be paid to the Internal Revenue Service with an individual’s taxes, and "shall be assessed and collected in the same manner" as tax penalties. §§5000A(c), (g)(1).
So according to the court and PPACA, not having health insurance is a tax penalty in 2014.
Damn it , it's NOT A TAX, it's a "shared responsibility payment"
Plenty of ways to circumvent congress to neutralize this "tax". Like I said, instruct the IRS to increase the standard deduction or exemption by the amount the tax would cost.
Basically, it's both and neither. Says gov't can have this power as a tax. However, fed gov't cannot force states to comply by taking away Medicare funds. This law relies on states to set up exchanges (e.g. comply with helping people get insurance). If your state does not comply and you cannot get insurance with the exchange (e.g. already have insurance or already have Medicare), you just have to pay the penalty. It's a mess.
Again... ObamaCare, unlike republican proposals, allows states to opt out.
Wrong again, you do not go to jail for not paying taxes.
Looks like this issue is done, oh I am sure some on the right will try and continue to fight against it but once the highest court in the land says it is legal and that is that.
Not necessarily. If it's something Obama disagrees with, he'll decide to not enforce it.
