Even at 2 grand, it is still cheaper to not participate in 0 care and just pay out of pocket.
With the sky high deductibles, few working folks have the cash to get any medical care at all unless they want an abortion (those are free).
Plus, not many real health care professionals take zero-care.
But most of the sheeple will think they are only paying a $695 penalty until the rest gets deducted from their tax refund next year, conveniently after the election.
