You don't have to pay the penalty. Just get health insurance and not mooch of everybody else. You don't have to get the parking ticket, just don't park in the handicap spot. If you decide to not pay the parking ticket, the fine increases. Is that fine increase a tax or a fine? It's a fine. If you don't have car insurance, you'll be penalized. Is that penalty a tax? Of course not.
I am not a moocher... no one pays my way. I am talking about those who cannot afford health insurance . You must not know many situations of people.
. "The ones who can afford to pay and have insurance it will not affect them unless their premiums go sky high in the future which in all probability it will...."
My premiums increased a year ago over 60% mostly due to ObamaCare rules in addition to any normal yearly increase.
I'm already feeling the pain of tyranny.
Yes, Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, among others that have passed this, this is how you are now viewed by more than half of the Country.

If you have insurnce, nothing changes, if you can't afford insurance you are now covered and if you can afford insurance and don't get it (2% of the population) you'll pay a fine which is less than the cost of health insurance.
I guess you just think of yourself.. I think of all the scenarios that will change due to the new big tax on many people.

Vote Obama out. The babies the illegals have here are considered American citizens at birth.. and because of that fact, the parents will of course reap many benefits from our new socialist and chief.
Read the bill. Not everything kicks in 2014. Some kicked in earlier.
Premiums had to go up to cover this.
And it was part of the bill campaign as well. There was going to be some time before 2014 where money had to be collected so that when 2014 comes everyone and anyone who wants insurance will have it and there will be government money to subsidize it.
If your premiums have not gone up more than normal over the past 2 years, then good for you.
Mine went up 20% each year for the past 2 years.
Aetna sent a letter stating they had to increase their pool of money due to increased coverage.

I have read the bill, thoroughly.
Since he made the claim, I am interested in the specific rules he is speaking of.
It wasnt a tax to begin with. Obama's lawyer even bringing that up should have resulted in it being tossed out during oral arguments. And no way should Roberts been allowed to change the wording of the law, because it was NOT written as a tax.
Help me out.
It's enforced by the IRS (and they hired 5000 new agents just for this).
It comes out at tax time.
It's based on a percentage of income.
How is it not a tax?
Definition:
1. a sum of money demanded by a government for its support or for specific facilities or services, levied upon incomes, property, sales, etc.
2. a burdensome charge, obligation, duty, or demand.
I can't name them.
It was explained to us in a company wide meeting with the Insurance Company representatives a little over a year ago.
I didn't write the reasons down.
If you really read it you would be better informed as to what caused every ones premiums to increase as a result of it.
Re-read maybe?
I do recall it was for increased expenses of required coverages.
