The problem is that the patient will still have to purchase insurance.

Those who don't want the feds controlling their bodies can pay the "tax" to opt out.

I've said all along that Obamacare is going to create a two-tiered system. One tier will pay to opt out, have doctors who refuse Obamacare patients and will pay their own bills. The other tier will be stuck with whatever health care the feds decide to give them.

My question is if those who opt out can still get a catastrophic-only insurance policy with a high deductible that does not cover all of the stuff in Obamacare.

No. Catastrophic policies are illegal under BonerCare.

Well the tax penalty in the first couple of years is cheap or cheaper than the insurance but as the years go by the tax is hefty and I believe if I read it right was 2.3% of your income times your family members so that could be hefty in the thousands so any disposable income you might have will be taken away to pay for something you don’t even have.
The whole thing is just sad.
Obama even said that when he was debating Hillary in 2008
about the health insurance she wanted. He is such a liar.
