About those fines – Citizens who don’t purchase insurance would be subject to a fine of $325 in 2015 and $695 in 2016. Individuals may be subject to a charge equal to as much as 2.5 percent of their income in 2016.

So why buy insurance?

I pay about 10K a year for insurance. A lot of self employed people pay the same or more. If pre-existing conditions are no longer a problem why get insurance. I'll pay the $2,500-5,000 fine save $7,500-5,000 and pay for visits myself. When I do have a major illness I'll go get a policy.

Of course if I and thousands like me do this the insurance companies will go out of business, but what loyalty do I owe them. They supported this govt takeover.

When my insurance went over $900 a month, I dropped it and considered myself self-insured. I have saved $30,000 in the last three years by doing so.
