for residents who are able to afford health insurance but fail to buy it.

And who decides if one is able to afford insurance? The economic wizards that have bankrupted the state (and our country).

It would be funny were it not so damn sickening.

I agree 100%. It sickens me to read this - the government deciding what somebody can afford. And notice there is no adjustment for the number of kids you have sucking off the system. A single person over 27 making over the $32k figure pays the same fine as some parasite over 27 making over the $32k figure with 5 kids sucking up resources.

The same is true for flat-rate water billing and so forth. You have a family of 7 living next door to a single person but both households pay the same for water and sewer each month.

The arrogance and stupidity of the government MAKES ME ILL!!!!!!!!!!!

Health care IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait until you get single payer. Then everyone pays irrespective of income.

Able to afford to Dems means if you have any money left, you can afford it.
