RE :”That's a reasonable response, but if you think about it, even here there is a vast difference with what is being planed with the individual mandate.
Congress ruled that Medicare funding would be deducted from our paychecks on a regular basis.
They did not mandate that we buy our own Medicare policies, then fine us through the I. R. S. if we didn't”

Alternatively if you don't ‘buy’ medicare coverage with those payroll taxes you go to jail. Heck, remember the SS argument :”I paid in” ???

But if you dont buy health insurance and you still dont pay the ‘fine’ they dont do anything to you, nothing, and you can still get insurance later after you get sick.

Check LOL

You don't go out and buy Medicare with your payroll deductions. If you pay in for enough time, you're covered at age 65. The health provider submits your bill to the federal government, and it pays most of the bill.

If you don't have an active health care insurance policy on file, you'll be charged 2.5% of your salary even if you have no deduction. If you don't pay that, the IRS will address it in the same manner it does today if you do not pay. Do you really think you have a choice not to pay?

As for my prior comment, I think it would have been a reasoned come-back to compare the federal government determining you should buy a Chevy Volt, and then setting up a deduction to pay for it, with your Medicare deductions. None the less, it would not be a punitive fine like the Obamacare mandate or else.

Man, the 25 million illegals are gonna love this.
