President Trump has already eliminated the mandate at the enforcement level since IRS will no longer reject tax returns without the ACA declaration.
So yeah, the entire house of cards known as Obamacare will now collapse in no time flat.
If Republicans aren’t willing to fashion a market based reform, as they promised us over and over again that they would do, then they should just wash their hands of the whole debacle and let it die on its own.
Sure, there will be chaos and pain for many. But that’s better than version 2.0 of the outrageous system we currently have in place.
so tax returns won’t be rejected for not declaring whether you have coverage or not...okay, does that mean you will or won’t be fined for not having coverage in 2016? Can’t find anywhere that says you won’t. The IRS was still notified by employers whether or not employees had coverage, per month..got our little form the other day. 9 months without coverage is equaling a fine of $1042...no refund for us! We have to pay!
They will take the applications, but will they later retroactively apply fines?
