What the Obama-care law text REALLY says on IRS enforcement of the personal Mandate fine/tax

Every time I post that the IRS is clearly forbidden from punishing you for not paying the fine/tax, I get the same fictional responses.

Maybe their goal is to make it sound so scary so that Obamacare gets magically repealed(poof) , but given that wont happen anytime soon this misinformation can have the unintended consequence of fooling/scaring people into complying and helping make Obamacare work.

I found the section in the bill text and will posted it below as a vanity for future reference skip tp SPECIAL RULES.

CHAPTER 48—MAINTENANCE OF MINIMUM ESSENTIAL COVERAGE
‘Sec. 5000A. Requirement to maintain minimum essential coverage.

‘SEC. 5000A. REQUIREMENT TO MAINTAIN MINIMUM ESSENTIAL COVERAGE

RE :”My point. I may lose my insurance in January if it goes up so much that I can no longer pay the premiums; and I know that my current plan will still be cheaper than the stuff offered on the so called exchanges. But I am not the young person that files a simple 1040. They could put me through a meat grinder if so inclined.”

Well no-one said Obama-care is ideal
When Pelosi takes back the House and converts it to single payer you will just pay a flat tax. And Death panels services are free :)

If you got lots of complicated hard to show deductions then the IRS can cause you headaches, so maybe paying the fine or complying is the best deal.

My friend has a high deductable and a health spending account for his family and he so far says its not affected.

I still encourage Americans to resist passively, dont comply if it results in feeding the beast. If you get free stuff what the heck,
