I do. The fine is much cheaper than actually buying the insurance.... At least for now.
The language has been distorted right under our noses. There no longer exists something called ‘health insurance’ in the US. The term is simply an archaic holdover from a quaint bygone era when private companies could pick and choose their customers, and make a profit based on actuarial tables and the law of averages. We now only have socialized medical care, compartmentalized into various ‘packages’ like gold, silver, and bronze, depending on the size of the mandatory compliance fee you pay to avoid a penalty. It may look superficially like ‘health insurance’ but it has no resemblance to the strict definition. Obama effed this country good.
