Only if you're too dumb to get insurance.

Only if you're too dumb to get insurance.

And if you're dumb enough to think that the legal definition changes the practical reality in your life.

Don't get too worked up over zerOcare, It's repeal is President Romney's first official act in Jan. And with 70% of voters not liking zerOcare, zerO's demise in Nov. is ensured.

So you're thinking the penalty tax will get charged even if you fulfil what the penalty is for? Dummy.

You should read the Constitution. The president doesn't have that power. Also, even the conservative Ramussen only shows 54%. Of course, you got your info from Romney's newest ad so no surprise.

In her written opinion on Obamacare Justice Ginsburg tells us why we are already being taxed for the uninsured through increased premiums from insurance companies.

"Unlike markets for most products, the inability to pay for care does not mean that an uninsured individual will receive no care. Federal and state law, as well as professional obligations and embedded social norms, require hospitals and physicians to provide care when it is most needed, regardless of the patient's ability to pay. As a consequence, medical-care providers deliver significant amounts of care to the uninsured for which the providers receive no payment.

Health-care providers do not absorb these bad debts. Instead, they raise their prices, passing along the cost of uncompensated care to those who do pay. In response, private insurers increase their premiums, shifting the cost onto those who carry insurance. The net result: Those with health insurance subsidize the medical care of those without it.

The size of this subsidy is considerable. Congress found that the cost-shifting just described "increases family [insurance] premiums by on average over $1,000 a year." Higher premiums, in turn, render health insurance less affordable, forcing more people to go without insurance and leading to further cost-shifting. Congress therefore passed the individual mandate provision of the ACA to address an economic and social problem that has plagued the nation for decades."

.....and in my humble addendum, proper health care for all is merely a basic human right, like all the education you can absorb, without cost prohibition.....it's what makes for the best possible human society. There things takes time to plow through the dark age thinking that still holds onto superstitious archaic individuals.......and it's happening!!

Afraid to make a prediction on the election under your regular screen name?! LOL . We all know how accurate you have been in the past.

America will never vote for a flip flopping cult leader. 98% of Americans said so.

Don't be so quick to criticize. I'm on your side. The point is that its effects are what they are, no matter what label is put on it. The right wing reacts reflexively to anything called a tax but practically, the label is meaningless.
