Supporting a family member is a pretty common situation these days. I assume the penalty is figured on the donor's income and could run into several thousands per year.

Consider:

I let my buddy who has fallen on hard times move in with me. I didn’t charge him rent of board or anything until he got a job, and got his car payment and insurance current. Then after four months He started paying me his half of everything and started paying for his won food.

I suppose he was technically my dependent, but I considered it a gift to a friend.

By this, I would be on the hook, for his health insurance too?

Damn you can’t even help out a friend now...they expect them to go to the government

This is probably how it all happened:

"Okay, all of you who have what you think of as "good" ideas for health reform we will have a computer set up in Room 125, so bring your thumb drives after lunch on Tuesday.

We will go through what you contribute and add page numbers and all that later."

So they added everything. Some people had more stuff to add than the others, but there were more than a few who had more than one pocketful of thumb drives to add. They tended to irritate the others because they spent so much time at the computer.

The health care staff laboriously read through all of the submissions and did spellcheck and stuff. And they made some additions of their own.

But what amazed them were all the seemingly unrelated items that had nothing to do with healthcare.

They merely shrugged their shoulders and patted each others backs because they were finally going to be able to do to America what no other foreign leader has been able to do.

But what happens when you quickly force something down someone's throat?

Huh...can you find the word "vomit" anywhere in the manual? It must be in there somewhere.

If you claim the personal deduction then you are liable. I don’t see the problem. Unless you claim the worthless Brother in Law that camps out on the sofa as a tax deduction, you are not responsible.
