I don’t know how many people are in the same boat as me. maybe i’m the only one. And i normally wouldn’t share such personal information but here goes. If this monstrosity goes through and if my husbands insurance supplied by his employer goes away and we have to use this crap it appears that we will be one of the people paying the high monthly premiums with high deductable. My children are almost all grown and gone now but here is my issue. regardless of what our yearly income is, we have large credit card debt due to raising three children during the recession/depression. for right or wrong we did rack up debt for things like christmas’, tires for the cars, property taxes, class rings, etc. all things that i felt were necessary at the time. My husband and I can afford to pay the payments on these cards. we had hoped eventually to pay them off. but those monthly expenses are not taken into account by the government went looking at our income and deciding without knowing my circumstances that we can afford their crazy monthly premiums. and from what i read there are super high deductables which means i will pay for all my own health care and meds on top of the monthly premiums. IF I am forced to do this here is what will inevitably will happen....i will have to bankrupt on all of our credit card debt to afford the premiums. That or let our house go back. either way our credit will be ruined and our debts unpaid because of obamacare. The other option to not join obamacare, have my tax return seized(probably won’t have one anyway) drivers license pulled, lein on house etc. perhaps they can just throw me in jail!
Well, FWIW, and to the extent that anything is accurate now, I recently read an interview with an IRS official who said the only effort the IRS would make to recover the fines was to hold any tax refund. Asset forfeiture, leins, etc. would not be resorted to. The claim in that email that’s being circulated about drivers licenses being held also seems unlikely to me because the enforcement mechanism is federally operated and licenses are state issued.
