Thank you for that. It was certainly much simpler than trying to explain it again and I bet, a whole lot less stressful. You are probably sick and tired of repeating it. It does seem unbelievable but I know it is reality. I think a lot of families prefer to go without insurance and just pay the fine. They certainly would if your example was known to them.
I hope some of these horror stories have made it to the national news...possibly enlighten some folks. Wouldn’t that drive the establishment crazy if everyone said, “to **** with it. Come get your penalty.” OR IS THAT A TAX according to John Roberts? Whatever - you’re welcome to it!
That would leave only the “takers” having insurance...Who would they expect to pay the premium for them? HA! That’s a dumb question!
You youngsters (younger than my 80 years) have my sympathy....My husband and I retired at the age of 70 and we had the usual problems in our working years but I don’t think we faced what you folks are going to face. Certainly not what our grandchildren are going to be facing and that hurts!!
