This is going to be thoroughly entertaining to watch.
Economics 101; A lesson for democrats/progressives.
The realization by 0bama zombies and their sycophants that economics is NOT about math, but a reflection of human nature and self interest.
This Zerocare “experiment” will leave them scratching their heads as their supporters “choose” to pay the penalty/tax since it is substantially less expensive than paying for someone else.
As the young idealists that are fundamentally selfish tout this “train-wreck” they themselves will act in their own interest.
I expect that very soon we will see ads from “everyday” people that are excited to pay for something they don’t want or need.
The next phase of propagandacare will be an attempt to guilt the young into signing up.
Cue Sally Struthers, and the sad sad stories.
“For the price of just one Starbucks coffee a day, you can provide care for this sad desperate crack addicted high school dropout single mother from a broken home of another sad desperate crack addicted high school dropout single mother from a broken home”
You didn't hear the "Tax Professional" call into Glenn Yesterday did you...
As she noted, the Penalty is not $95, but comes from an elaborate formula, and may cost you thousands if you have a family and your income is like 100k.
The formula is something like your AGI X 1% X the number of exemptions on your return.
No matter how you slice it, they are gonna meet Ben, Ben Dover....
I laughed out loud at your last paragraph. Priceless!
