They should get their pre-existing health insurance back.

If they think that’s bad,
just wait until the IRS gets ahold of them for speaking out about it.

I surprised there is not more public outcry over this generally and I assume young people said to heck with it and are paying the penalty because they have been quiet as well.

The Affordable Care Act was supposed to help families with pre-existing conditions, not hurt them.

Sez who?

Hope they speak out about how it feels to “embrace the suck”

"If they think that’s bad, just wait until the IRS gets ahold of them for speaking out about it."

Yes, opposition to the Devine One's offering is not tolerated by the Regime or his lemming like followers. Obamacare is working perfectly. It is destroying US businesses, making health care much more expensive and worse, and increasing dependency on the government. This is our own version of the forced march into the countryside in Cambodia. Many will die, many others will lead lesser lives while proclaiming the wisdom of Dear Leader - or else.

The invincibles all think that the fine is $95. It’s actually a percentage of their incomes which, even at minimum wage, is greater than $95 per year. And that’s just this year.

I read about this family before and here is my question: if their only income is disability why aren’t they eligible for medicaid?

Four people collecting disability puts the household income over the maximum income for Medicaid.

RE :”The Daverts have always had access to affordable health insurance. Because of their disabilities, Melissa and Ken receive insurance through Medicare”

Did the author really mean Medicaid?

I don't think that medicare pays for people under 65, does it?.
