Guess so, right? This obviously means health care is "unaffordable" for them...

$14,340.00 to $16,956.00 per year. Holy crap! what happened to paying $2500.00 less? Then how much deductible, mine would be $5,000.00 per year.

If your taxable income is below 133% of the federal poverty level you are exempt from this tax.

2014 = $95 per person per year or 1% of your Income
2015 = $325 per person per year or 2% of your Income
2016 = $695 per person per year or 2.5% of your Income
2017 = Tax Penalty will increase by the rate of inflation going forward, or 2.5% of your Income

If you make $50k a year your tax (penalty) is $500.00 in 2014 (and don't have insurance)
$1,000.00 in 2015
$1,500.00 in 2016 and later


This is going to take a lot of middle class people down.

By the way, many people won't be able to afford the POS Obamacare rates and will get fined because they can't. It's not my fault they can't afford Obamacare and will be forced to pay a fine, I mean tax, or was that a fine. Obama and Democrat supporters are to blame.

The ACA is based on your AGI, capped at 9.5%. "Cannot afford" does not exist. It is based on your household income. The complainers are either lying about their income, or need to take a look at their own budget.

Dedicating no more than 9.5% of your income to health insurance is reasonable.

If you think 9.5% of your income to health insurance is too much, you might need to cut out your Starbucks, restaurant every day, or fuel for your oversized jerkwagon. Maybe you should not have purchased such a large house or rented in an expensive neighborhood? Maybe you should rethink your gym membership, smart phone, or cable TV.

Trust me, all of thse little things will kill you faster than paying for your own health insurance.

Spare me the sob story. I have no sympathy for any single person making over $40K that claims they cannot afford to live.

You are right, he should have said that if you like your healthcare, you can keep it as long as it meets the minimum requirements.
