Few do.
It goes like this: If you don’t have health insurance, if the bronze plan will cost you more than 8% of your taxable income, you don’t have to pay a penalty. My wife and I were both 60 last year. Health care would have cost us somewhere around $10,000-$12,000. You do the math. :-)
Okay. Thanks, but that 8% is probably time limited based on Obama’s rules (changing daily). They don’t even obey their own law. What’s to stop them from assessing more?
Regardless, the 8% doesn’t really have to do with anything substantive in the article. It was about costs to physicians for implementing electron records.
