RE One caveat, however: the IRS can only collect the tax by reducing your tax refund. So, no refund equals no tax. “ Bingo

This is interesting and I have seen this point debated on FR before. Is this one of the unintended good benefits to America? Stopping people from giving Uncle Sam an interest free loan?

Not the only one. As people opt out, it will also greatly increase the market for cash and carry medical care. The blog has a lot of articles on the subject.

They’ll just print or borrow what they need to make up for what you’re not giving them interest free,
so your savings account or your children end up paying it anyway.

I think it just means if you dont pay the fine and are not due a refund of the fine amount or more the law forbids the IRS from doing anything about it, unlike the income tax.

Its was a political based clause with unintended consequences.

Notice Obama NEVER cites the fine as a reason to sign up.
