Uninsured next year? Here's your Obamacare penalty
cnn ^ | August 13, 2013: 10:01 AM ET | Tami Luhby

To try to ensure that people sign up for coverage, the Affordable Care Act carries complex penalties for those who remain uninsured that could cost them hundreds, or even thousands of dollars. Some 6 million people could be hit with these fines in 2016, forking $7 billion over to the federal government, according to the Congressional Budget Office. ...

Here's how the penalties will work:

Uninsured adults will either pay a flat fee for themselves and their children or pay a share of their income, whichever is greater. ...

Not every uninsured person will be subject to the penalty, however. In fact, 80% of the 30 million Americans expected to lack coverage in 2016 will be exempt from the mandate, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

Among those exempted include: undocumented immigrants, Native Americans and those who earn too little to file tax returns. Also, people who would have to pay more than 8% of their income for health insurance and poor adults who live in states that are not expanding Medicaid also aren't subject to the penalty. The uninsured can also file for hardship exemptions.

using a sealed PVC pipe and a deep post hole

I sent an online inquiry to a catalogue web site. The next day, an ad for that company's product appeared on my aol. welcome page and various other pages on Huffington Post and remained there for almost a month.

This is actually not NSA or other spy programs....it's American business in cahoots with major web sites.....and/or shenanigans by unknown entities.

It made me sick to see this invasion of privacy...and I'll never do business with this company again....and I intend to let them know why, or my boycott is not effective.

I don’t know.
I would think that at 18 you would still be covered under your parents’ coverage.

That is the problem with the Right, they always accept the “lingo” of the left.

On Saturday’s Huckabee there was an electronics type guy who says the police can tap your phone even when it’s turned off.

A month or so back there was a “news” report about microphones and cameras in televisions.

The government can do things we can’t even imagine.

They won’t be cutting checks.. that’s the joke.. you think someone earning 20k a year with kids is cutting checks? No you are cutting checks to them. With the EIC and Child tax credits, they will see a refund of say 5800 dollars instead of 6000. Checks my butt, nobody will care because nobody will really see it, after their H&R Block person does their taxes and says congrats you are still get a super duper refund that will be the end of that.

Did you see the story about our government selling our personal data to marketers?

That old ‘love of country’ thing is more nostalgia than reality... Jerkwads - those horrible control freaks in goverenment have ruined the country...(Hey you little sh*ts over at the FBI and IRS - and NSA - yeah I mean YOU)

I read somewhere that the IRS will NOT be authorized to prosecute people for NOT paying the fine. If this is true, once word gets out this in and of itself will crash 0bamacare.

Popcorn time. When a high-profile celebrity in Hollywood gets their health care records, including a breakdown of all of their STD’s spread through social media like wildfire because some outsourced 0bamacare telemarketer in India sold his records for a few bucks, things should get interesting.

Sound waves hitting windows in offices and homes can be detected and ‘heard’ from the outside. No doubt that 0bama has his NSA, FBI and CIA listening and tapping into just about everything. This is how he gets the decisions he wants from SCOTUS. John Roberts is personally responsible for the government’s hijacking of 1/6th of America’s economy via Obamacare. He alone could have stopped it. It is CLEARLY unconstitutional and his written opinion was against Obamacare, so.. What changed his mind in the last minutes?

And another clause giving the feds the right to watch you through yout TV.

Interesting that you say that. my kid just got a job with a regional cable company, and he told me that the DVR/HD boxes they install have the ability to do just as you describe. they only need to activate them.

when he learned this, he immediately began to look for a different job. it made him quite angry.

I’m just waiting for one of these hacking groups to actually make themselves useful and put everyone of these Obamacare pimps personal medical records on the internet for the whole world to see ...I think the technology and hacking aspect has a real chance of killing this whole thing ...just start splashing Brian Williams, Chris Mathews, and Rachel Maddows health records all over the internet for everyone to see, that would be a fun start

I’ve been telling people this for decades and they laughed. We are being watched and we all volunteered. This computer monitor I’m looking at is looking at me. So is the TV screen. And we all have cameras spying on each other. They’re in our cell phones. We don’t even have to turn on the video. It can be turned on by the ones we pay to use it.
