I'd like to know how they are going to enforce this now? I guarantee that there are already schemes in place ready to scam the system. Congress has not solved a problem, they have created 50 million more problems! When this legislation was in its creation stage, there were many questions about how the government would be able to force a twenty-something to pay for a product he did not want nor think he needed. Billions of dollars were budgeted to hire IRS agents to track down the scofflaws and force their cooperation. We may yet see a debtor's prison for those who protest this illegal mandate and refuse to pay the penalties and interest such rebellion will rack up. Those who can somehow "prove" financial hardship will be exempt from the "tax" yet will STILL be provided health care paid for by those of us who actually pay taxes. Rather than eliminate fraud, this will open a whole new avenue to do so. Just watch!
Funny how the same people who claim Fedzilla isn’t up to the herculean task of tracking down 12 million illegals, foresee no difficulties in Fedzilla conducting annual audits of the health-insurance status of over 300 million people.
