So, a “family” with 2 kids will pay the samy as a “family” with ten kids.
Talked to a small business owner last night. He’s got a wife and 4 kids. His premiums are $650 a month, or $7,800 a year, with a $10,000 deduction. He’ll be one of the first to say “fine me and give me the insurance.”
There are so many questions about these “fines”. What if daddy is killed and the insurance through work stops? Does the family immediately get fined? And how much is the fine since the family is now without a father?
What if there’s an accident and half the family is killed. Does the remaining family get a pro-rated rebate?
And as far as family, can parents and parents-in-law and grown kids move in and call themselves a family? Hell, can the neighbor move in and call themselves a family. And the big question: Can two men pretending to be gay move in and be considered a family?
At some point in the last 2 weeks I thought I read where these fines apply ONLY if your state has a Health Insurance Exchange and you refuse to participate.
In states without a Health Insurance exchange, the fine does not apply
26 Republican Governors have declared their states will not participate in the Health Care scheme.
I know way too many guys who move in with each other and pretend to be gay.
