So what happens to all the illegals? And how about those with 2 social security numbers, do they have to pay the fines twice? I think this should be clarified.

Don´t you just love obamacare? It gets better and better as each day passes.

We are so screwed....

Good. The more angry people the better.

Wait! I thought it was determined to be a TAX and therefore within the power of Congress to levy. What is all this talk about paying a FINE?

Without using a cuss word, there has to be a better, heavier duty phrase than "they´re out of touch with reality".

I´m sure this includes the children up to the age of 26?

That unemployed/underemployed college kid living in the parent´s basement is going to cost them thousands of dollars/year for insurance - until the kid is 26!

And the nominees for this year´s Marie Antoinette award are...

"We must pass the bill to find out what´s in it." - Nasty Pelosi

"What difference, at this point, does it make?"
- Hillary Clintoon

"But for us Democrats, Obamacare is a badge of Honor. Because no matter who you are, what stage of life you´re in, this law is a good thing." - Kathleen Supercilious

I believe that the Courts will declare that the indigent will not have to pay, but will instead get their Obamacare...Free!

John Roberts is a coward.

Folks, the only chance this has of being solvent is to have lots of young people (or more likely their parents) being forced to buy "insurance" even if, statistically, they have a low probability of needing it. This is just another social security style ponzi scheme.

What is even worse and scarier is that the 20 grand for Obamacare will be 9th world medical service by docs with med degrees from 9th world countries.

Also, what these dimwits do not understand is that docs are going to do what they are doing with medicare and medicaid - no longer accepting people on these plans because the gumbint pays .05 cents to the dollar.

And as poster observed above...I thought SCOTUS ruled that Obamacare was constitutional because the provision was a tax and not a penalty (fine). If it is deemed a fine, it is unconstitutional, so it should be challenged again.

The IRS levies fines for people who don´t pay their taxes.

What I´d like to know is what type of tax this actually is deemed to be.
If insurance is portable, like property, then it could be construed as a property tax, and thus, deductible.

Notice how it´s being listed on your W-2?

Let´s see. It will cost a fortune to put Zippycare into place and support it. States haven´t set up exchanges yet or increased Medicaid. IRS will hire thousands and pay them to enforce it. Employers will lay off or reduce the hours of millions of employees because they can´t afford it. Many others will not work to claim they are too poor to pay for insurance.

Congress has excluded themselves in not only Zippycare, but gun control.

What can possibly go wrong ?

John Roberts was bought!

Hahahahahaha! Gotta love the irony. Never take anything Obama says at face value... there´s always a very serious whack involved.

And all you dems thought it so precious that mean insurance companies are forced to keep kids under the parents insurance... Now you´ll owe fines for your kids until the are 27 yrs old!! hahahaha!

John Roberts is no judge. He´s an idiot and a sissy. I hope he rots in hell!

When Joe Lowinfo starts really screaming about this, the entire media will just blame everything on the Republicans, and it, too, will be Bush´s fault.

They emptied Medicare by 17 Billion to do it. How do they expect people who can´t afford health care to pay large fines. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck--chanced are it is someone who has never done without or been concerned about mone or their next meal.. Idiots who voted for Obamacare, I mean!!

Does this mean welfare payments will have to be increased by $20,000 per year so families can afford to pay the fine?
