So those cretins who thought they’ll wait until they require healthcare to sign up will be SOOL. “SH** Out of Luck”.
I agree. When you decide not to get any form of insurance or get a minimal policy, you assume the risk. OF COURSE those who didn't sign up should be accountable. Anything else would be unfair to those who got insured.
Just two points. One is that I don't remember there being any part of the publicity to get people to sign up saying that after 3/31 they can't sign up until next year. That's odd, because it would've been a great sales point. The other thing is....what happens to people who, for some reason or another, were insured at the beginning of the year, but their situation changes? They should be allowed to sign up.
