The fine goes up over time, and I'm not so sure you can do that without paying more penalties.
Why you would want to take the chance is beyond me. You'll get subsides if you need them.
The idea that you won't need ongoing care is not reality, we recently had a son of a friend get into an accident and he's pretty much never going to recover, and another man we know was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy a disease that starts and stops for decades. You never do know what life has in store for you. All this says is that you think you're being smart, but you aren't.
For the first year yes. After that the fines go up until they are equal to the insurance cost.
The premiums are reasonable and everyone needs health insurance, so no. That would be the smart aleck idea.
If a person has a heart attack, for example, and is not insured..................
and is hospitalized. That person will have to pay as much as $100,000 for their care.
They will not be able to buy insurance to cover that heart attack and hospitalization.
Therefore, not having insurance is simply stupid. $100,000 of debt can ruin someone for a lifetime.
I find it interesting that the States reporting higher premiums are the ones with leaders that oppose the law.
No cause you could be denied with a pre condition illness such as cancer and not let in.
Those on Medicare are already covered and don't have to fool with it.
There's an open enrollment period to make it hard to do that
Sure what ever turns you on
If you are one of those whose premiums are going to be a lot higher than the fine, just pay the fine until you need health insurance and then get it since you cannot be denied regardless of your health and then when you no longer need health insurance drop it and go back to paying the fine.
