ok, so the cost for an individual is 4700 give or take. But what age group? Kaiser sent me a signup quote that said $119 for 18-29 - that’s about $1,200/year. Blue Cross was a few dollars more. That’s with a 500/deductable. The govt plan will be a little less. We don’t know what the deductable is yet. The fine is 1000. I think a lot of people who normally don’t want to carry insurance (those 10feettall and bulletproof yutes) will be paying the fine - it’s cheaper. And obviously the gubment is expecting people to pay the fines, since they are talking about how much they will raise in fine revenue. And special interests will get fine waivers. And if you pay a fine does that mean your medical treatment is then free? for how long? how many times can you be fined in one year? does your deductable count towards the fine? How does this fine plan guarantee coverage for “97 percent of Americans” ? Will this plan be 1200 pages too? Will anyone get to actually read the plan?
Sure, once it's translated from the original Russian.
Apparently they expect lots of folks to pay this fine...
