In new, final regulations issued Wednesday, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said that parents must pay a federal fine under Obamacare if their children or dependent spouses are uninsured for any part of the year.

They just keep piling it on..

In the "old days" Americans had the guts to let Washington know when they were pissed.. today of course there's Big Sis, Gitmo, and a Marxist-Alinsky nutcase street agitator as president whose administration just order thousands of real assault weapons and hundreds of millions of hollow point ammo. . . .

King Obama is finished. Does this mean that even if the parents are not working they have to provide insurance for their kids as well as themselves? Total confusion.

From the article:
“For 2014, parents could face a penalty of either $47.50 per child – under 18 – up to $285 total.”

So I guess up to 18 years of age
