Actually, the best plan is not to buy insurance until you get sick. Then buy it. They can’t deny coverage because you are sick.

If 25% of Americans did that, it would break the bank on Obamacare. The bill relies on a high level of compliance with the mandate to be even laughably solvent. And it would save each of us a lot of money because the penalty (er tax) is a lot less than the cost of insurance.

It’s a form of civil disobedience that would actually work if enough people did it.

Also, if we refused to pay the taxes on top of buying in and out of insurance depending on health, the IRS is not allowed to jail us or levy on us for the failure. So it’s a double whammy for finances.

It will probably end up like medicare part D. If you don't take it out when you turn 65, you will pay a accruing 1% penalty for each month..so if you waited for 8 months after age 65 you will be charged 8% higher premiums.

I bet this will eventually have the same provision.

Take the difference between the cost of insurance and the cost of the penalty/tax and buy guns & ammo. That'll not only help to crash the system, but the purchases will make the Obots $hit bricks.
