The penalty for not having insurance next year will be $95 for an individual and up to $285 for a family, or 1 percent of household income, whichever is greater.
Even though the penalties rise dramatically over the next three years - to $695 per uninsured individual or 2.5 percent of household income in 2016 - the cost of going without insurance will still be well below the price of most premiums.
"When they look at all that, they will realize there is a way out," Brase said. If enough people take that way out, the theory goes, the exchanges will collapse under their own weight.

Up the river. Felony? Why not.
Bend over Amerika!
Well, if Peloski send them to prison, then they will get free health insurance.
Thanks Justice Roberts.
I disagree with the premise unless I am missing something, and I went to the link.
The fine/penalty is peanuts since they can just pay it and then still get insurance once they get sick. $95 per individual per year is beyond a joke compared to the $10K for Obama care.
The real problem is for those who NOW have catastrophic health insurance for only serious problems, which will be outlawed next year.
They want to do the right thing and Obama-care outlaws it, encourages them to wait till they are sick and then bilk the insurance.
I just got a slick little form letter from the V.A. today about Obamacare. Did any other veterans get that?
What a traitor...
Ewww. You may want to start another thread on that one.
It was an actual letter, not an e-mail, don’t know how I’d post it.
REPLACE sniveling coward Speaker Boehner with a FIGHTER!
It is time to IMPEACH Tyrant B. Hussein Obama, aka Barry Soetoro.
_______________________
Tyrant B. Hussein Obama, (aka Barry Soetoro), continues his unopposed efforts to expand Totalitarian Obamanation in Liberty-based America.
Where are the Republican opponents of Tyrant Obama?
Why have the Articles of Impeachment for Tyrant Obama not been issued by US House Speaker Boehner, or Pro-Welfare Republicans Cantor or Ryan?
Have House and Senate Pro-Welfare Republicans formed a cave-in pact with Pro-Welfare Democrats to protect Tyrant Obama?
The main thing that Speaker Boehner is afraid of is being blamed for doing his job.
Speaker Boehners job now is to shut down the NON-ESSENTIAL parts of the US Federal Government until Obamacare is ABOLISHED, and keep it shut down for however long it takes.
Obama will continue to ruin America as long as Boehner is Speaker of the US House of Represenatives.
Four + years of Boehner has proven Boehner to be unfit to combat Tyrant Obama.
It is now up to the Members of the House to replace Boehner so that the new Speaker can shut down the non-essential parts of the US Federal Government ASAP in order to ABOLISH Obamacare.
Follow The Money
Al Gore sells Carbon Offsets which at the most basic level are nothing more than government permission to exhale.
Barack’s Obamacare penalties are nothing more than a charge for the right not to purchase health insurance.
“not an e-mail, dont know how Id post it.”
Scan it and post it as an image. ;-)
i wonder if your nephew will be able to afford it...
Patrick Henry seems like Nostradamus now.
He warned us.
God bless Mark Levin, but no amount of laws or amendments will cure the moral rot of our society.
Catastrophic health care is a good plan to save money. It allows you to load up for an asset busting illness. Why would they eliminate it? I was told by Obama I could keep my existing plan!
Obama may have been exaggerating a bit to get a Obama -care bill passed.
You can keep your health care plan with a few small minor mods, about $6K py worth.
On top of crashing the exchanges, we should target the Navigators by having people who know they dont qualify book appointments with them to eat up their time, thus preventing others from signing up and diminishing the number of paying cases they can work on and thus reducing their income to the point where theyll quit and look for honest work.
Yes, my son received the same letter, previously this year 2 others. I have been confused as to why since he died in 1986, 27 years ago.
Are they digging up dead peoples VA records, if so what are they trying to do?
Good idea.
Sounds like a job for patriots with some time available. Also a great pastime for those who are lonely and want someone to talk to.
Some strategies that work to waste telemarketers’ time can work here, too.
I’m sorry, I can’t hear you very well. Can you repeat that?
Oh, dear, my hearing aid battery must be low. Can you repeat that another time? Could you speak a little louder? (Be sure to let them go through their whole spiel each time before asking them to repeat. You wouldn’t want to be impolite and interrupt them.)
Ask about every little tiny detail. Does it matter if I fill the form out in pencil? If I do it in ink, can it be blue or black ink? How about green?
Ask stupid questions. Will this cover my cat?
Oops. I made a mistake on this form. I need to start over.
I need ID? I must have left that in my other pants. I didn’t need it to vote, why should I need it for this?
When will I be getting my first payments? You mean this is not like EBT and welfare?
And the Arbeitsziehungslager intimidation speak goes on: The use of “penalty” from “penal” as in “penal camp”
vs.: “TAX”
