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.
“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...
Obama Care costs more than the penalties.
I don’t get the civil disobedience angle. You can enroll in a health sharing minisrty for less than half of what a deathcare premium will cost you, skip the penalty, and its perfectly legal.
I recently friended an old, old classmate of mine on Facebook, one whom I hadn't seen since elementary school. She's a single mom in a not well-paying job, with a couple of small children. (All this I inferred from reading her page.)
Recently, she's been making posts about a child that needed a special operation, and how she started a Go-Fund Me page and all of that. I wished her well, but asked no more questions. I couldn't help but think, "Wasn't Obamacare supposed to solve situations like this?"
