I thought it was required by law. Why is enrollment down? Civil disobedience perhaps?

I see patients all day long in a walk in clinic. Most of what I see are patients with insurance who say their deductibles are outrageous and climbing, people without insurance because they can’t afford it, or people newly enrolled in Medicaid.

This was never about health insurance, it was a tax.

“Why is enrollment down? Civil disobedience perhaps?”

I paid my fine. But according to the law, when I turn 65 the amount the government thinks I should have spent will be removed from my SS check for the length of they think I should have spent the money.

Is it cheaper to pay the penalty?

Federal judges should jail each and every person who fails to comply with the “Affordable” “Care” Act. After all, it is the law of the land...

If the supreme court had not declared that the fine is actually a “tax”, such a practice might constitute double jeopardy...

Aren’t you eligible for Medicare at age 65? Because if you are, Part A is free (it’s the insurance you paid for); it’s the optional Part B and the Pharmaceutical program which you pay for.

Attempts to get rid of Obamacare are bogus. It the DC crowd came up with a simple vote to keep ObamaCare for those who want it, but drop the mandate, no one could vote against that and be re-elected.

Obama in debates against hillary promised that his program would be different because it would not be mandated.

We elected people in 2010, 2012, 2014 on the promise to overturn homobamneycare and they turned around and gave the voters a big fat middle finger the second they were sworn in to office. What do you think will happen after 2016?

Voting isn't working. Besides the civil disobedience that people are now practicing, what's left?

Obama Care costs more than the penalties.

Anyone who actually pays for healthcre Ie) not on government payroll, subsidy, or Medicaid has long ago learned Obamacare is just a major screw-job on the middle-class
